Hinde Street Methodist Church

General information

We are Hinde Street Methodist Church.
We are part of the world-wide community of people who follow Jesus Christ. As Christians, we share the love, grace and compassion of God with those around us.
We are a diverse group of people gathered from all over London. We are a warm, caring and nurturing community; we rejoice in our different backgrounds and views, and welcome all. We are an inclusive church, and our theological approach is open and thoughtful.
We work out the meaning of our faith using the Bible, the traditions of the church, our experience, and our reason. The Holy Spirit helps us make sense of these things for today. We value questions, and we look beyond easy answers.
We are a centre of Methodist worship and spirituality. We are faithful to our tradition of preaching, music, song and liturgy, whilst staying open to God and working in partnership with other people of faith.
We care for those on the margins of society through prayer and action. We do this through the church’s voluntary activities, by supporting the professional social work of the West London Mission, and in our daily lives.
In all these things we fail as often as we succeed; but we continue to trust in God’s unconditional love, and in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

As well as worship on Sunday, we have meetings and events throughout the week and special activities such as a summer picnic and church weekend away. Many members develop their fellowship by regularly getting together in groups known as classes, and there are also groups for children and youth, young adults and more. We have two community flatshares, and are involved in a student community.

Along with the Chinese and international congregations at King’s Cross Methodist Church, we are part of the West London Mission circuit in the London District of the Methodist Church. We all belong to the Methodist Church in Britain. We’re also a member of Churches Together in Westminster, and have a special partnership with our Anglican neighbours at St Marylebone Parish Church.
