Thatcham Methodist Church, an active member of Churches Together in Thatcham , is located on Chapel Street (part of the A4) and is very close to the town centre. There is a pedestrian crossing nearby, which is in line with access to the Kingsland Centre car park.
Sunday services are held at 10.30 am every week.
We host Vintage Adventure on behalf of the Churches in Thatcham on the third Thursday each month (except August) from 2.30pm – 4.00 pm. It is a time of fun, making friends, singing, informal Christian worship, activities, drinks and homemade cakes. Vintage Adventure is enjoyed by the 'young at heart 'and is inclusive and dementia friendly. We work intergenerationally with young volunteers from a local primary school.
In addition, we are privileged to share our premises with the Pied Piper Pre-School and the local Ranger unit.
On the first Tuesday of the month and weekly during Lent and Advent from 10.00 am -11.30 am, we hold Pilgrims, where a small group study a section of the bible and have a chance for open discussion. This is led by each member of the group on a voluntary basis.
On Wednesday morning during term time, we hold Chair Based Exercises from 9.30 am -10-15 am, followed by tea/coffee.
On the 3rd Friday of each month Cuppa and Chat takes place at 2.15 pm -3.45 pm, which is an informal opportunity to join us for tea, cake and a chance to chat.
We would love to welcome everyone to join us at all or any of these events.
Although there is no onsite parking, there are various facilities nearby:
Kingsland Centre car park (100m): plentiful, charges apply Monday-Sunday.
Adjacent streets (200m): rather limited, free of charge.
Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ through our witness, our worship and by our practical expression of His love within the community and the world in which we serve.
We seek to fulfil this mission through:
- Various expressions of worship open to our community including Vintage Adventure – alongside traditional services
- Learning and caring, through Pilgrims a bible study group which meets to study and reflect through fellowship
- Service, by being a visible presence in our community, supporting older people with various activities such as Cuppa and Chat and Chair Based Exercises.
- Evangelism, through working out our faith in our daily lives and supporting the outreach and social projects of this church, Churches Together in Thatcham, and the Circuit.
