Refurbished in 2015, the church is bright, modern and welcoming. In addition to our worship, the main hall and upstairs room are available for a variety of activities. An ideal venue for meetings and presentations with wi-fi. Also, parties for young children. The church is fully accessible on the ground floor and has a fully equipped kitchen.
Our outreach work is mainly with elderly people to prevent loneliness and isolation in our community, but we welcome all adults to our activities and events.
Unfortunately, we do not have any activities for children because we do not have the resources or storage facilities but there are activities in the village hall.
Services and Events
Unlike most Churches, our services are held on alternate Thursday mornings at 9.30am.
Monday
Coffee, Cake and a Movie once a month from September to May. Doors open at 9.45am for a 10am start. We begin with toasted teacake or a muffin with tea or coffee. The tables are set out café style to give some social distancing. We then turn our chairs around and watch the film on our big screen. Demand is so high that we also have a matinee. Start times for the matinee depend on the length of the film. We show films that have been recently released on Blu-ray DVD. A ticket is required and the cost is £4.

Wednesday
The Horton Wellbeing Cafe is run by Horton Housing Association from 10:00 -12:00 noon. The cafe offers a safe, friendly and supportive environment for those who are experiencing or are at risk of social isolation, loneliness and mental health issues.
They provide informal learning sessions and activities to help clients increase their confidence, develop skills, build social networks and access volunteering, training and employment opportunities. The cafes are also for those wanting to make new friends and build links in their local community.

Welcome Space is organised by the chapel stewards thanks to a grant from the Two Ridings Community Foundation. It will run to the end of 2025. This activity takes over from The Horton Café at 12noon and ends at 3pm. It is very informal. There are domino groups, scrabble or just chatting. Bring your knitting or crafting. It is just a sociable afternoon. We can offer digital support. A volunteer will help you with your phone, tablet or laptop. Just drop in between 1pm and 2pm. Recently, we have been having sing-a-longs and guest singers at some of these events. This is a free event with refreshments.
