Service

Millom Methodist Church has had a beautiful annexe built and so can hold more than before. This includes a new kitchen, so we now serve coffee each Sunday. We have a service at 10:45 each Sunday morning, led by one of the Methodist ministers or local preachers. It usually lasts about an hour, and you will be warmly welcomed. At present the church membership is 29,but there are often 40 people attending.
There is a Sunday School, called Shell Club. This meets at 10.00 am in term time except when there is a Family Service, this is usually the 2nd Sunday of each month, at 10.45 am.
There is usually also a 5.30 pm joint service with the Salvation Army at Nelson Street.
