Crowthorne Methodist Church

150 Years of Methodism in Crowthorne

Helping people to meet with God, rejoice in and express his love

The Methodist Church in Crowthorne is in every sense at the heart of village life.

We believe that God’s greatest gift to us is love.

From the youngest to the oldest and wheelchair friendly, we are a family and child-friendly church. Although currently most of the congregation is post retirement, we welcome visiting children and we ensure there are activities for them, either within the service or in the halls. We are diverse in education, taste and theological outlook. We facilitate worship with media projection and broadcast on Zoom. Our main service balances traditional with contemporary worship to share God's message and love. 

Our fellowship is enhanced during the week by bible study and prayer groups, with monthly “Serendipity” and “Men’s Group” social activities. We employ a part time family lay worker who runs a weekly carers and toddlers group called "Teddy Club", baking sessions for pre-school children, and Messy Church. We have also just started a Brick Builders club. All these are supported by members of the congregation.

Our premises are well used during the week by a variety of community groups, and the garden is well-maintained and open as an outreach to all, including the new initiative of a prayer space.  

We are actively involved in Churches Together, such as the children's Summer Activity days, late night shopping, Good Friday Walk of Witness, and in projects including the organising and hosting of an ecumenical Tuesday morning service / coffee. 

We are also trustees of the HopeZone Charity – an ecumenically supported youth drop-in club for Years 6-10 - supporting them financially and practically. 

We are financially sound with current funded projects for the installation of solar panels and new glass front doors.
