Knutsford Methodist Church (KMC) is an active and inclusive Christian Community who seek to grow and share the love of God. The church building sits right in the heart of this lively market town. Built in 1864, and extensively modified internally over the last 20 years, the church is a modern place of worship in an historic setting. As a Church Community, KMC offers an invitation to worship God, encounter Jesus, find community, and make a difference in the world.
Worship God
Sunday Morning Worship is every Sunday at 10am, providing a space for all ages to meet, with a thriving KidZone, and a welcome for young families. The Service is streamed on-line through the KMC YouTube Channel.
There is also a monthly OASIS Service on the 4th Sunday of the month at 6:30pm with prayers for healing and wholeness. It’s a space to meet with Jesus, and enjoy being in God’s presence.
Midweek Communion is every Thursday at 12 noon.
We offer a monthly Lego Church at 3:30pm on the 3rd Sunday of the month – it usually finishes around 5pm. It’s a time for families to learn about the Bible & Jesus through the use of Lego, followed by a meal together, in the Community Hall. It’s suitable for ALL ages – if you want to find-out some more, feel free to contact the Church Office.
Encounter Jesus
There is a vibrancy and joy in getting to know Christ and living with God day-by-day. People come to faith, and grow in their faith, in different ways. We seek to support one another in that journey of faith, as we understand that we are known, valued, and loved by God. We have a calling to support families in their discipleship, and value children and young people and their capacity to know God and participate in the life of the church.
HouseGroups
As well as following a Preaching Series on Sunday Mornings, KMC has 10 HouseGroups meeting in Knutsford and the surrounding area, supporting people pastorally and prayerfully. The HouseGroups are open to anyone who would like to grow and be supported in their faith.
Every Monday, at 7:45pm, we offer an on-line HouseGroup for those who would either prefer to or find it easier to meet remotely. All are welcome – contact the Church Office for details of how to join.
Youth Group
Wednesday Evening is given over to our Youth: Rock Solid is for those in School Years 5 to 9, runs from 5pm ’til 7pm, and is held fortnightly (check the KMC Calendar to be sure of the dates!).
Finding Community
In all of our interactions and relationships, we seek to be gracious (welcoming, open, honest, caring, and supportive of one another). Alongside the HouseGroups, where there is a depth of mutual caring and prayerful support, we seek to foster Life Groups that are primarily geared towards friendship, mutual caring, and sharing at each stage of life. KMC is a place to belong.
Friendship Café
This is a Café for people living with dementia and their carers. The Café includes refreshments and an opportunity to chat; sometimes games or craft, reminiscence activities, music with a trained therapist, and other activities. The Friendship Café takes place weekly on Fridays from 10am – 12 noon.
Renew
This is a Wellbeing Space where it is okay not to be okay. People meet each Tuesday afternoon from 2pm until 4pm for chat, games, and friendship.
Jolly Tots
Jolly Tots is a group for parents and guardians with pre-school children, and meets on a Wednesday morning in the church and large hall between 9.30am & 11.15am. It provides a safe environment where parents, carers, and little ones can meet informally.
Make a Difference
The good news of God’s love in Jesus is for sharing, and has transformational power to change lives, communities, and the world. We seek to share our faith openly and with a servant heart for neighbour and the world, through acts of service and responding to the needs of the wider community. Caring for God’s creation, we are an Eco Church, taking seriously issues of justice and peace for all the earth.
Alpha Course
The Alpha Course is a series of interactive sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith. No pressure. No follow up. No charge. Just space to explore faith today. Contact the Church Office to find-out when our next one begins!
Hope Central
Hope Central is a foodbank that is supported by KMC and St John’s Knutsford, providing much needed support for people in challenging situations.
