Introduction

Welcome to the Bramhope Methodist Church website. We hope that you will find it informative.

Methodism in Bramhope has a long history, the first documentary evidence of Methodist preaching in the village dating back to 1777. Services took place in cottages and barns for many years until the first chapel was built in 1837. This building eventually became too small so the present church was built to replace it in 1896. The church has a central site at the heart of the village and is the location of many thriving groups and activities.

We are a group of Christians of all ages and backgrounds who meet regularly for worship and fellowship and try to live out our faith in our daily lives. We are always keen to welcome new friends into the life of the church family.

As a church we run a varied programme of services and activities for people of all ages. Some of our activities are aimed at particular age groups, most obviously the youth activities such as the Kids' Club, the Children's Art Club, Sunday Club and the Toddler Group. Other groups like the Film Club and the Coffee Shop provide opportunities for all ages to meet together.

If you would like further information that is not available on this site please get in touch with us.
