Our Sunday morning services usually begin at 10:30 (with the doors open from approximately 10am) and worship lasts for approximately an hour. Some of our special services are accessible on zoom so please get in touch via email for the details of how to join us.

In worship and prayer, the Methodist Church in Chapel Allerton celebrates God's work in our lives, our vibrant suburb and the wider world. We aim to be a welcoming and inclusive church who encourage everyone in their journey with Jesus.

Our minister is Revd Emily Young. She also has pastoral charge of Roscoe and Trinity Methodist churches and we are enjoying working closely with Emily and our sister churches.

As we move into 2026 we are having a special evening service – Prayers in the way of Taize on February 15th at 6.30pm.
You will be very welcome to join us, there will be light refreshments afterwards.

On Saturday March 7th we are hosting a Fairtrade Cafe in the Methodist Centre from 10am-1pm. Fairtrade crafts, drinks and cakes and produce stalls. Vegan and gluten-free options available. All are welcome.

On Saturday 14th March (the day before mothering Sunday) the church will be open from 2.00-4.30pm to Give Mum an Afternoon Off. This features a family-friendly film, craft activities, a quiet space and refreshments including popcorn. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Raising money for charity is an important part of our ministry. From September 2025 our church charity is Amaudo. We have already raised over £3000 for this ground-breaking mental health programme in Nigeria. Close to £700 was raised at a Christmas concert by the Wesley Singers on Saturday December 6th.

We are fortunate that our buildings are at the heart of Chapel Allerton, a suburb in North Leeds. Our current church building, which opened in 1983, provides an excellent flexible space for worship and community activities. We have recently welcomed Little Seedlings into our church building who provide daytime play and learning opportunities for young children and their parents.

The Methodist Centre across the road is in almost constant use. Over the summer holidays, our friends from Chapel A Baptist church and ourselves invested time and money in replacing the small kitchen downstairs, redecorating the upstairs hall and some of the downstairs rooms. Quite a transformation! The Methodist Centre hosts a variety of community groups including:

A weekly community lunch club, run by church members

Town Street Playgroup

Youth clubs run by Thrive Leeds, an ecumenical partnership

Brownies and Guides

Community Table Tennis Club

Royal Voluntary Service friendship groups

Stainbeck Arts Club

We are blessed to enjoy very good ecumenical relationships, not only with the three other churches in partnership for Thrive Leeds http://thriveleeds.org.uk but also with Churches Together in Chapel Allerton and Meanwood. We join together for Hymns in the Street during the Chapel Allerton Arts Festival http://chapelallerton.org.uk and work with each other in social action, for example in support of asylum seekers. We are in a Covenant relationship with St Matthews Anglican Church and have close links with Chapel A Baptist church who worship in the Methodist Centre.
