About Us

About us

Picture
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 circuit superintendent minister, Rev Alex Terrett provides pastoral oversight and leadership and our local minister, Deacon Laura MacBean, is tasked with community engagement. Both ministers lead services regularly.


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 and Guides. It's also available for you to hire for 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 and are part of Bromley Methodist Circuit in the London District of the Methodist Church in Britain.

Causes we support

Thanks to the generosity of our congregation and community groups, we often support a number of charities each year. These include:

  • The Robes Project in Bermondsey and their Cold Weather Night Shelter (ongoing donations of clothes, bedding and food), and other work done by the Methodist Church in Bermondsey's  South London Mission
  • Murewa Methodist Church in Zimbabwe (over the years we have rasied funds to build their church)​
  • Action for Children
  • Christian Aid​
  • The UK Methodist Church's Mission in Britain fund: We hold a collection in December most years

Community outreach

Our church also supports our wider local community including:

  • hosting Hawes Down Primary School's Year 6 leavers' assembly
  • hosting the 8th West Wickham Scouts, 6th West Wickham Brownies and 6th West Wickham Guides 
  • hiring out our rooms on a regular or occasional basis for meetings and clubs (subject to availability and in line with Methodist policies)

Our future

We've had to pause plans for a major redevelopment project to benefit both our congregation and the local community due to Covid-19. We will continue our meetings and planning for the future when the COVID-19 crisis has passed.
