The 6:30 pm service is a congregation aimed at students and young professionals, with a focus on biblical teaching and musical worship.

St George's sets itself firmly within the Charismatic Evangelical wing of the Church of England.

The other church in the parish of St George from 2021 is Holy Trinity Boar Lane which will be reopened a new ministry focused on weekdays city centre workers.

[3] The Crypt provides overnight accommodation and runs two hostels as well as charity shops, events and programmes to help people deal with addiction.

Money was raised for the building and a local architect, John Clark was instructed to draw up plans for a church of 'plain, bold style, free from ornaments'.

[6] As such, the design of the church comprised a nave and aisle under a timber roof, a clock tower, and a spire of 160 feet.

The church was named St George's at the laying of the foundation stone by the then Bishop of Ripon, Charles Longley.

1841 The painter Charles West Cope presented St George's with the sanctuary picture that is still in place today.

Cope had been born in Park Square and had been approached by his friend John Atkinson, one of the trustees, to paint an altarpiece for the church.

1842 William Sinclair built St Andrew's (a chapel on Burley Road) as a memorial to his wife.

According to John Heaton, the son of one of the original Trustees, 'He was 'a small feeble-looking man' whose only gifts seemed to be the ability to preach evangelical sermons.

1895 John Wright (later Archbishop of Sydney) - an "able evangelical"[7] - appointed to St George's and successfully raised money for some much needed alterations and improvements to the church.

He also dedicated the memorial chapel at St Andrew's Church, Bruntcliffe, Morley, Leeds to those who had lost their lives in the First World War.

At first, St George's Crypt was a refuge for men who had returned from the war and gravitated to Leeds in search of work but who ended up destitute.

Since its inception, the crypt has offered support, advice and shelter to those people (men and women) on the margins of society and is still in existence today.

[3] 1931 Don initiated the opening of a women's centre which provided food, clothing and opportunities for day trips for the poor of the parish.

Under Don's leadership, church members were rallied to provide support for Estonians, Lithuanians and Latvians who had been brought to this country to work in the mills, and many of whom had been prisoners of war.

1954 Faith Lodge, an annex of St George's Crypt was opened with the aim of providing 'sustained care in the environment of a home'.

1962 On 11 February, only a few hours after a congregation of 400 had left the building, hurricane-force winds dislodged some of the pinnacles surrounding the church tower.

Within two weeks of the damage, £2,000 had been pledged towards the rebuilding costs: the rest came from sources all over the country and the world, including one large gift from Bridge Street Church in the City of Leeds.

In this he succeeded and when he left in 1984, there were 25 babies in the crèche and over 100 young people in Sunday school each week and St George's was recognised as a family-friendly church.

His creativity, love of art, music, nature and the 'element of surprise' was evident in all aspects of his ministry, particularly in communicating the Gospel.

1999 With the pressure to implement new health and safety regulations, and the need to update the facilities, a complete refurbishment of St George's crypt was undertaken.

[6] 2021 St George's takes on responsibility for the City Centre Mission based at Holy Trinity Church, Leeds.
