Welcome to our Church!
We are proud that our Church family is made of people of all ages, from a multicultural mix of nationalities and from all walks of life. We enjoy traditional worship as well as exploring new ways of expressing our faith. We enjoy singing the old, well-known hymns and learning new songs of praise. We are family friendly with an in-church play area for the little ones and an active Junior Church. All Are Very Welcome.
Car parking is available at the rear of the Church.

A history of Amesbury Methodist Chapel
We believe that care for God’s creation and urgent action to tackle climate change form part of our Christian calling and responsibility.
We embarked on our Eco-Church journey in 2023 to help us learn more about how we can do this – as a community, in our building, in the city and the world around us, and in our own lifestyles.
We were delighted to gain a Bronze Eco-Church award early in 2024. You can read more about Amesbury’s Eco Church journey on pages 2-3 of Creation Matters (edition 5).
Amesbury Methodist voted at the November 2023 Church Council to commit once again to being a Fairtrade Place of Worship. This means we:
– Use Fairtrade products wherever possible (at least tea, coffee and sugar) and share information about Fairtrade products with the wider congregation.
– Integrate Fairtrade into the life of our church, at Fairtrade Fortnight or other times of the year. For example, through events, stalls and worship. In 2023 we purchased only Fair Trade Easter eggs for our young people and our 2023 Harvest had Fair Trade as its theme.
Ride and Stride 2024
Rosemary and James reach Amesbury Methodist Church on the 2024 Ride and Stride on Saturday afternoon 14 September 2024. They were cycling for the Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust and Amesbury Methodist Church. They did the same in 2023 and they raised £700 – £350 for WHCT and £350 for Amesbury Methodist Church.
