Stoke Newington Methodist Church (High Street)

Stoke Newington Methodist Church is one community worshipping and seeking to make a positive difference for the community from both its buildings.

The newly-rebuilt High Street church has a very visible, welcoming presence and is used by many people, both dropping into the Listening Place and taking part in the many groups based here.  A Monkey Puzzle nursery is on the upper floors.

Mission statement

Through our common life – rooted in our shared identity as Methodists – we seek:

• To celebrate and affirm the presence of God through our life of worship, service and caring;
• To look outwards into the world;
• To work wherever possible in partnership with others;
• To equip ourselves to engage with local civic networks, other churches and faith communities, community groups and individuals;
• To act with integrity and to always offer the best of ourselves;
• To offer to all people the love, peace and justice which is at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ:
• Our guiding principles flow from this gospel.

They are:

• To accept and not judge
• To welcome and not exclude
• To unite and not divide
• To listen as well as to speak
• To learn as well as to teach
• To give as well as to receive

In all things, to love God and to love our neighbour.
