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 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. We have an evening service on the third Sunday of each month starting at 6.30pm.

On Sunday September 6th at 1030am we will celebrate Hymns in the Street when Christians from churches  in the neighbourhood invite everyone to join them for open-air worship in Regent Street as part of the Chapel Allerton Arts Festival

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. 

Raising money for charity is an important part of our ministry. Amaudo is a ground-breaking mental health programme in Nigeria for which we have raised almost £9000 by the end of August. From the beginning of September, our charities for the next 'Methodist year' are FOP Friends – a charity that supports ground-breaking research into a very rare and disabling disease and   funding for our buildings which are widely used by the local community.

During summer 2025, 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!

Specialist work is well underway to repair the windows of this wonderful Georgian building. We anticipate that it will take two summers and a lot of money to bring all thirty-seven windows up to standard.

We have lots of children's activities in the Centre, including Little Seedlings who provide stay and play sessions for very young children and their parents/carers. They have moved across the road from the church to the Centre and are  enjoying their new space, especially the outside play area.

The Methodist Centre hosts a wide variety of community groups. A recent survey showed that over 600 people use the Methodist Centre on a typical week during school term-time, including

• a weekly community lunch club, run by church members
• Little Seedlings
• Youth clubs run by Thrive Leeds, an ecumenical partnership
• Brownies and Guides
• Community Table Tennis Club

• Royal Voluntary Service friendship groups

We are blessed to enjoy very good ecumenical relationships with Chapel A Baptist church who worship in the Methodist Centre, Churches Together in Chapel Allerton and Meanwood including the three other churches in partnership for Thrive Leeds.
