There has been a Methodist presence in Stonehouse for over 130 years. Stonehouse Methodist Church was built on the Park Estate in 1955. In 1961 a Youth Hall (Douglas Morley Hall) was added, followed in 1965 by a new Manse and in 1974 an extension to provide an improved kitchen and additional meeting room (The Walker Room). In 2019 a new commercial standard kitchen was installed after much fundraising and a generous grant from The Barnwood Trust. Stonehouse registered as an Eco-Church in early 2019 and achieved a Bronze Award from A Rocha UK in March 2020 followed by a Silver Award in March 2021. We have been a Fairtrade Church for over 20 years.
Stonehouse Methodist Church continues to play a big part in the community by providing space for community use, including Foodbank, Modern Dancing, Short-mat bowls, Boxing, Mums and Toddlers and a monthly Lunch Club as well as sacred space for worship, including Messy Church and Youth Clubs
Stonehouse is a friendly and welcoming church and our Minister is Revd Rachel Hope. We have a variety of services at 10.30am every Sunday with a monthly communion service and occasional Cafe Church services.
We have various Worship Resources available for use including an AV system for projecting the service on screen. Find us on our website and on Facebook @Stonehouse Methodist Church for regular updates and events.
