Our activities extend far beyond our worship activities. We aim to bring God's message into the wider world and as such open our doors to them. Our building serve as a meeting point for quite a few organisations in the town who value our facilities.

From a youth perspective the uniformed organisations have formed part of our church life for many years, and as well as their own meetings they join us for several parade services during the year.

We also donate funds to various charities and each year we have a Charity of the Year where we support one particular cause for the whole year.

Find here and on the linked pages details of all these activities.

A Teabreak meeting

Are you retired and enjoy meeting new friends over a nice cup of tea? Then you may be interested in coming along to Priestwood Tea Break.

We have been running for the past 25 years and meet at Bracknell Methodist Church every Thursday afternoon.

It began with a gathering of about eight people and has quickly grown to a number exceeding forty each week. A warm welcome is given to all

If you are interested in joining us, please come along on a Thursday Afternoon.

Fairtrade

Fairtrade market

As Christians we should be supporting people in the Third World as they seek to achieve a good standard of living without exploitation. The Fair Trade scheme ensures that producers get good prices for their goods and work in suitable conditions. Fairtrade makes a real difference to the lives and futures of real people.

As such Bracknell Methodist Church is committed to serving fairly traded tea, coffee and sugar at all church functions. Alongside this we have a wide range of fairly traded products after our Sunday morning service and are committed to supporting fair fortnight. Our supplies are obtained from Traidcraft.
