Mission Statement: To Know God's Love, To Show God's Love, To Share God's Love

We belong to the Methodist Church in Britain, which is itself part of the worldwide family of Methodist Churches. We also have links with the United Reformed Church.Methodist churches in Britain are grouped into Districts and each District is divided into geographical areas, called Circuits, for mutual help and support, for example, by sharing preachers and other resources. We are in the Southampton District which comprises 12 circuits.  Our circuit is called Yeovil and Blackmore Vale and covers an area in the counties of Somerset and Dorset. It has 4  churches since a recent restructioning of Circuits: Cheap Street Church in Sherborne, Marnhull, Vale Methodist  (on church on two sites at Sturminster Newton & Kings Stag chapels), and Yeovil Methodist (one church on two sites Chelston Avenue and in the Quedam).  Cheap Street Church is in an ecumenical partnerships with the United Reformed Church.  
From the industries in Yeovil with Westland Helicopters and the literary history of Thomas Hardy and William Barnes, the area is very much agricultural, with rolling hills linking the chapels and churches together.  We serve a wide variety of communities across this area, ranging from secluded villages to busy town centres.Our churches range from small village chapels to larger town centre churches, but you can be sure of receiving a warm welcome wherever you go!
You can access more information about each church by clicking on 'our churches'.
