About us

West Wickham Methodist Church (WWMC) was founded in the 1930s. We're a friendly, faith-filled congregation and we love to welcome new people to worship with us and join in the general life of our church.

Our local minister, Deacon Laura MacBean, provides pastoral care and day-to-day leadership, and our superintendent minister, Rev. Alex Terrett, provides pastoral oversight.

We're available for baptisms, naming ceremonies, weddings and funerals. Our church is home for a range of clubs and events that serve our local community including Scouts, Brownies, Guides and schools. It's also available for you to hire for birthday parties, meetings or regular events, depending on availabilty. We have an alcohol-free policy in line with UK Methodism.

We're a member of Churches Together in West Wickham, which runs a work club, and are part of Bromley Methodist Circuit in the London District of the Methodist Church in Britain.
