Guildford Methodist Church

With great regret, we are following the advice of the Church of England and Methodist Church and have suspended Public Worship and meetings for the time being.

We worship and work together to show Christ's love to the people of Guildford. Our partnership started in 2013 and our church community has grown close together. St Mary's also hosts services for European Orthodox and Roman Catholic worshippers. We are part of the Wey Valley Methodist Circuit, enabling us to draw on the resources of the Circuit and to continue working with other Methodist churches in the area.

From 1966 to 2013 we occupied a fine building just out of the centre in Woodbridge Road but rather detached from the heart of Guildford. In 2013 we accepted an invitation from the Parish of Holy Trinity and St Mary to join with them and base ourselves at the historic St Mary's building in Quarry Street, just off the High Street, bringing us back to the very heart of the town. As the oldest place of Christian worship in Guildford, St Mary's holds a special place as Common Ground for Christians of many denominations.
