Welcome

Welcome to Clowne Methodist Church, part of the Derbyshire North East Circuit.

The Methodist Church in Clowne was built in 1876 in the centre of the old village. It is situated on North Road, opposite Recreation Close which leads to the village Community Centre, Library, Health Centre and Villa Park Recreation ground.

The Minister at Clowne is Revd Mark Carrick.

Worship

We have services on a Sunday, Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings.

Regular Sunday afternoon services are held each week at 3pm except for the first Sunday of the month when we have a family service at 10:45am.

Tuesday evenings alternate between a fellowship service and a prayer time – both held at 7:00pm.

Worship is mainly traditional, although alternative styles are also used. Services aim to be meaningful for everyone, with hymns old and new, prayers in different forms, and readings from many versions of the Bible.

The church has a small congregation of adults and a Sunday Club for children. Despite its small size, the congregation has a wide vision, to seek God's help, to work together, to be faithful and loyal to Him, aiming to be a spiritual light in the area.

Accessibility

The building is equipped to meet accessibility requirements, with sound and loop system, large-print hymn books available, accessible toilet facilities, and ramped access to all areas of the ground floor.

Working together

The church is a member of the Clowne Union of Churches, which represents the three local Christian churches and meets together to demonstrate commitment to Christ amongst the village community. Members of the congregation particularly look forward to joint events during Christmas, Easter and on Remembrance Sunday.

Young People at Clowne Methodist Church

There is a thriving Youth Club for the 11+ age group, with around 20 members on the register. Most of the children are not those of Church members, so these links are valued as an important point of contact with the wider community.

• Youth Club (11+) Meets on Friday evenings from 7:30pm to play video games, table tennis, and pool. Around 20 young people meet at the Club and there is a waiting list for anyone who would like to join. For more details email: youth_club@clowne-methodist.org.uk
• Sunday Club (all ages) Meet each Sunday in the schoolroom from 10.45 until 11.45am for an informal time of worship, crafts and games. Refreshments are provided and there is time to chat. On the first Sunday of each month, families are invited to come along and share in café style all-age worship with drinks available throughout, craft and other messy-church style activities, modern songs and a message from the leader.
