At 260 Long Lane stands North Hillingdon Methodist Church. It is more than just bricks and mortar. It is a place of community. North Hillingdon Methodist Church is a small and friendly church. All are welcome.
We believe we are called to be a Church for our neighbourhood in Long Lane. Therefore we seek prayerfully to offer worship to God. This worship is relevant for all ages. We want to help those in our church learn about God’s love in Christ. We want to do this through our work with young people. We also want to do it in our house groups. We encourage commitment to become Jesus disciples. By the power of the Holy Spirit we want to reach out into our community. We want to support those in need. Also we want to work with the wider Methodist church. We seek to work with Churches Together in Long Lane to witness to our faith.
