High St is a thoroughly modern Methodist Church. Well, perhaps that’s overdoing it.
In our mission statement we call ourselves a “caring Christian community in the heart of Maidenhead”. We manage one of the loveliest buildings in Maidenhead – a 19th Century chapel with a high roof, balcony and stained-glass windows. We have a suite of premises with rooms where we host meals for the elderly, the warm space drop-in, junior church, meetings for those with various conditions to come together for love and support.
Each Sunday we hold worship services for all ages and all types of people – from Breakfast Church to Early Morning Communion, from All Age Worship to a Praise Service celebrating with contemporary worship, preaching and prayer. We have a choir leading anthems, and huge celebrations at Christmas and Easter to celebrate major festivals.
We meet in small groups to share together. We bake cakes and have meals. We enjoy one another’s company in the Bromley Room at the heart of the Church buildings every Sunday after service. We support one another and our wider community through a system of pastoral visitors and groups.
We hold baptisms, weddings and, sadly, funerals.
We seek to bring the love and care of God to our community. We seek to represent God’s love in all we do and to spread the hope and joy and challenge that Jesus proclaimed through his life and death.
Why not come along, you’d be more than welcome!
Pete
Minister, High St Methodist Church
