Welcome to Padgate Methodist Church
At Padgate Methodist Church, we commit ourselves to loving and serving God through our actions for the community and wider world.
We warmly welcome everyone to the worship and fellowship of this church.
We have a 'Positive Thoughts' page dedicated to poems, passages, cheerful images etc, to uplift the soul in this difficult and unprecedented time... this will be regularly updated so please visit it often...
Anything related to Worship at Padgate (i.e transcripts and videos from Rev'd Mark Coles, Deacon Helens thoughts, etc) can be found on our Preaching Plan & Worship page.
During this difficult time, it may be that we are unable to attend a funeral. Here is a document that can be followed during the time of the funeral.
