Cross Gates Methodist Church

Colton Methodist Church

Colton Methodist Church is situated in the "old" part of Colton Village, with modern housing developments continuing to grow around us. Our vision is that we are seen as a vibrant place of worship at the heart of the Colton Community.

Mission Statement: We are a community of God's people responding to the good news of God's love in Christ. We welcome people of all ages and abilities to join in Christian worship and fellowship and to share in the mission of service and witness to God's kingdom throughout the world.

There has been a Methodist Church in Colton since 1832, although the current church building is relatively new, designed to enable use by the community as well as for worship. In addition to Sunday worship and Junior Church, several church-linked and other groups meet on the premises during the week.

Coronavirus update

In line with Government and Methodist Church guidance we are not open for worship or any other activities at present. See our Facebook page for regular updates.

If you are walking past the church, see the information posted on the external noticeboards and keep a look out in the church entrance for the changing display on our wooden cross!

We have a Church Contact system in place to keep in touch with church members, regular worshippers and other people linked to the church.

Sunday Morning Worship is taking place at 10.30 am each week using Zoom.

A fortnightly newsletter "Small Miracles In Life, Everyday (SMILE!) is available here.
