The calling of Thorpe Bay Methodist is to respond to gospel of God's love in Christ in our community. By focussing around four themes:
- Worship that enables people to connect with God.
- Caring that allows people to experience the care of Christ in diverse ways.
- Learning that builds faith and empower others to grow as disciples of Christ.
- Mission that engages with this community and enables us to tell others of the love of God.
Our Mission Statement
We believe we are called by God, and his people, to demonstrate the life of Christ in the local community, through worship, teaching and witness.
We commit to continually challenging ourselves on how best to meet this calling individually and as a church and as a part of the wider body of Christ, and to being a welcoming and supportive fellowship.
We are here to worship God but, as many will know, this can take many forms. If you like what you see, like what we say, and would like to be involved, why not make contact here.
Better still, come in and see us and if you need directions find us here.
History of Our Church
The early 1900's saw the start of an expansion of Thorpe Bay into a major residential area and provision was made for three sites to be available for the various churches. On 3rd November, 1921, the Free Church was opened and this building, in time, was to become The Methodist Church in Thorpe Bay, otherwise currently known as Thorpe Bay Methodist Church.
In 1960 a new building was opened but it subsequently became apparent that the combined premises were not adequate for the needs of a steadily growing community.
In the 1970s, new plans were drawn up and fund-raising began which resulted in the development of a brand new building complex. Further development of the hall (which was the old church) and other parts of the building started in 1994 and upon completion in 1995 resulted in the church that we now know today.
