The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God’s love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.
Welcome to our website!
Situated right in the heart of Histon, we are a lively growing church serving both north Cambridge and the surrounding area, as well as the village itself. You can see a map here - there are ample parking facilities nearby.
We are part of the Cambridge Methodist Circuit and have good ecumenical relationships with local churches of other denominations. We are also very actively involved with a wide variety of community activities.

September News
From 5th September, we are pleased to return to weekly Sunday services at 10:45am. There’s no need to book into Sunday services anymore. Please continue to wear a mask whilst in the building, but we are pleased to be able to sing quietly whilst wearing them.
Everyone is welcome at Wednesday Coffee Shop. The wonderful volunteers are back with delicious home-made cakes and hot and cold drinks at the new time of 9:30am – 12:00pm each week.
