The Church was built in 1838 to provide a place of worship on the West End of Leeds. There was concern, at the time, in the Church of England that there was a lack of Churches in the expanding cities to 'bring the good news' to the people. This practical reason for the founding of St George's is even reflected in the architecture. The original architect was instructed to design in a 'plain and bold style'. From the beginning St George's has been involved in social work. By 1882 it had founded three 'Day' and 'Sunday' schools in the local area. However under the inspired vision of Don Robins in the 1930's, St George's was to become renowned for its work with the poor. Sunday services are at 10.30am and 6.30pm at St George's Church. St George's Community Church meet at 10.30am.
