Hi, I’m Rev. Peter Moorhouse, minister at Thorpe Bay Methodist Church, and I also share responsibility for Chalkwell Park and Hadleigh Methodist Churches in the Southend and Leigh Circuit. I’ve been in ministry since 2007 and was ordained in 2009. Before coming here, I served in the Oldham and Saddleworth Circuit. I’m originally from Hale in Cheshire, but my journey with Jesus has taken me all over Britain.
I’m married to Natalie, and we have two sons, Isaac and Jude. In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports, particularly the NFL — I've supported the Chicago Bears for 35 years — and of course, I’m a lifelong Manchester United fan. God bless.
Our Sunday morning service is at 9:30 am, followed by refreshments.
Communion Service is the 2nd Sunday of the month.
Cafe Church is the last Sunday of the month, breakfast is served from 9.30am-9.45am followed by the service at 10.30am, all are welcome!

Mary sings, “My soul magnifies the Lord”.
But how can I make God greater?
Lord of life, in the way I live, move and inhabit my being,
mirror in me your extravagant love and expansive goodness.
Enlarge my soul: to bear witness to human destruction, riven by unspeakable violence.
Enlarge my soul: to rail against relentless consumption, upending the gentle balance of the earth.
Enlarge my soul: to speak out against power-seeking policies, indifferent to hunger and dismissive of need.
May my spirit dance to the intricately woven melody of prayer, praise and protest.
Be ever greater within me, that my soul may magnify the Lord forever. Amen.
