Welcome to Prestbury Methodist Church
We are a welcoming Christian community located in the heart of Prestbury, serving local residents and surrounding areas including Bollington, Tytherington, and Macclesfield. Our church was founded on Methodist principles and has been a spiritual home for generations, offering weekly worship services that blend traditional hymns with contemporary music. We prioritise creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, regardless of their background or faith journey. Our congregation actively engages in local community projects, working alongside other organisations to practically demonstrate God's love. We provide accessible facilities including wheelchair access, baby-changing amenities, and hearing loop systems to ensure all visitors can participate comfortably.

For those unable to attend in person, we offer online worship via YouTube. Our team of dedicated volunteers and staff, including Revd. Graham Edwards, strive to make faith accessible through Bible studies, prayer groups, and family-friendly initiatives like Messy Church. We maintain strong connections with the Macclesfield Methodist Circuit while retaining our distinct local identity. Our vision focuses on three core aspects: discovering Christian faith, developing personal relationships with God, and delivering God's message of love through everyday actions. We welcome visitors to explore our historic building and join our friendly congregation.
