Welcome

Welcome to the website of Marehay and Waingroves Methodist Church (MWMC).

We are a group of people of all ages who meet together regularly as followers of Jesus – to offer friendship, to share fellowship, to learn, to care and to serve our neighbours in the communities of which we consider ourselves a part. We believe that community starts with the people next door, finishes with those on the other side of the world and includes everyone in between.

We have two buildings (one in Marehay and one in Waingroves) and we do lots of things - some very regularly whilst others only happen from time to time.  Details of our regular activities and special events can be found on the other pages of this site. If there’s anything else you would like to know, please get in contact with us.

We hope you enjoy visiting our website and hope you will visit us in person in due course – we would love to see you and you would be made very welcome.

We are part of the Mid-Derbyshire Methodist Circuit and the Methodist Church in Britain.  We also form part of the Three Churches of Codnor & Waingroves and work closely with our friends at St James' Church, Codnor and Codnor Methodist Church.

If you would like to learn more about the things we and other Christians believe, take a look at rejesus.co.uk (link to www.christianity.org.uk).
