Howden Methodist Church offers everyone a warm and friendly welcome. We have a Sunday congregation of around 14 - 19 attendees. Often visitors to Howden come along too.
We are fortunate to have two organists who play the organ or piano weekly. While we mainly use Singing the Faith hymn books, Hymns and Psalms are also available. A screen and projector are available (with advanced notice) and the church has a CCLi License. A weekly offering is taken for anyone who is able to contribute to the life of our church and circuit. This may also be given by direct debit/bank transfer.
The church has a disabled toilet facility and a ramp is available for the one step into the building.
A modern, fully functioning kitchen, was kindly donated by Howden’s Kitchens.
The Church Hall, other rooms and kitchen are available for hire throughout the week.
A notice board outside and further notice boards in the entrance hall are kept up to date for information along with a weekly news sheet and monthly magazine.
Howden Methodist Church also has a Facebook page and Instagram account which are regularly updated and have gathered quite a following within the town.
Howden Methodist church has a carpark, for church and authorised users.
While we may be few in number, our members work tremendously hard to maintain our lovely church & garden areas and to ensure any event is well organised and provided for.
Fun fact - On 5th July 1776, John Wesley (founder of Methodism) paid a visit to Howden and preached to a large congregation in a thunderstorm near Station Road, Howden. (HEY History)
Next year (2026) will celebrate 250 years of Methodism in Howden! Why not come and celebrate with us?
