There has been a Methodist presence in Stonehouse for over 135 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. In 2024 a new air source heating system was installed in the Morley Hall improving our energy consumption further. We have been a Fairtrade Church for 25 years, sponsor a child in Kenya through Action Aid and supported the Toilet Twinning scheme.

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. More hard work and improvements to our property and land followed – making our garden a 'shop-window' for the community and part of the Stonehouse Community Arboretum. We encouraged members of our congregation to make small changes to their lifestyle and incorporated the ethos of Eco-Church in our worship and community activities and in October 2024 we were delighted to be the 58th Church in England and Wales and just the 8th Methodist Church to receive a Gold Award joining one other church in the Gloucestershire Circuit. We endeavour to encourage the care and good stewardship of God's creation in every way.

Stonehouse continues to play a big part in the community by providing space for local organisations including Foodbank, Short-mat bowls, Boxing, Mums and Toddlers, Youth Club and a monthly Lunch Club as well as a sacred space for worship.

Stonehouse is a friendly and welcoming church and our Minister is Revd Jimmy Cullingford. We have a variety of services at 10.30am every Sunday with a monthly communion service and occasional Café Church services. We join with Churches Together in Stonehouse for events, particularly at Easter and Christmas.

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.
