Garforth Methodist Church

Chapel Allerton Methodist Church

Community Engagement at the Chapel Allerton Arts Festival

Our latest holiday club

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.

In September 2025 we welcome Revd Emily Young as our minister. She also has pastoral charge of Roscoe and Trinity Methodist churches and we look forward to working closely with Emily and our sister churches. Emily reminds us that September is the time for Harvest festivals when we give thanks for food, farming and all the good things that God gifts us. Our Harvest Festival this year is on September 28th, you will be welcome too join us.

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 St Matthews Anglican Church and have close links with Chapel A Baptist church who worship in the Methodist Centre.

Raising money for charity is an important part of our ministry and we were very glad to support the Leeds-based Youth in Mind charity last year. From September 2025 our church charity is Amaudo a ground-breaking mental health programme in Nigeria. This will be featured in our church service on Sunday 19th October. We have already raised over £2000 for Amaudo. Our next fund-raising event will be a concern by the Elland Silver Youth Band at 6pm on Saturday 18th October

We look forward to welcoming you
