"It is a house of welcome and a house of love because it is primarily a house of prayer."

"It is a house of prayer and human conversations"

As the people of the Methodist Church, we are concerned with the wholeness of each individual within God’s purpose for everyone.  We seek to safeguard all members of the church community of all ages.  It is the responsibility of each one of us to prevent physical, sexual or emotional abuse and neglect of children and young people.

Reflection of the month ... John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

The Narthex is one area, in particular, where the open door policy of Chelsea Methodist church is at its most visible. It is open to all members of the public.

There is a Cafe, ran by volunteers where for a minimal charge you can have a cup of tea or coffee and some biscuits or a sandwich. Most afternoons after 2pm we provide a free simple meal for guests, including the homeless.

On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4-8.00pm we provide a free counselling service for young people between the ages of 13 - 25; and on Wednesdays from 9am to 5pm free counselling service for those aged 60 and over.

The Narthex is used by local artists and other organisations to hold exhibitions of paintings and crafts. Fund-raising activities sometimes take place here too.
