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.
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.

In September, we welcomed our new minister, Rev Jenny Pathmarajah. Read Jenny’s interview with HI Hub here.
What does it mean for the Methodist Church to be a justice-seeking church?
We live at a time of huge change when domestic and global injustices are being revealed and intensified. How can our world be renewed so that all God’s creation, people and planet, can flourish? Watch the video and read on to learn more about the project.
In June, our congregation met together with our friends from Castle Street Methodist Church to consider these issues. Here are some pictures from our time together.
Free To Feed has launched in South Cambridgeshire; this is a campaign to help mothers feel confident breastfeeding in public, and is encouraging local businesses and venues to become a breastfeeding-friendly location. Our church has been very pleased to sign a pledge certificate for this campaign, and you will see a poster displayed on our notice board, as well as a sticker of welcome.
After consultation, it has been decided to keep the church open unless government restrictions advise otherwise. In January, there will be a service in church every week apart from 23 January, when we are invited to join in all-age worship on zoom. There will be a zoom service available every week too so please let us know if you would like the link.
We have reluctantly decided not to have any church services during the festive period. The planned services at the Salvation Army on Christmas Day and in our church on Sunday 26th December and 2nd January will now not take place.
You are welcome to join with the zoom service with our friends in Castle Street Methodist Church on Christmas Day at 11am. Please let us know if you would like the link.
In the meantime, you may like to join in worship on YouTube with Wesley’s Chapel in London or with a pre-recorded audio service from the Methodist Church available here. (scroll down to find the service).
We look forward to worshipping together in the new year and will let you know soon when the next service in church will take place.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!
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.
