Records of Methodists meeting in East Bridgford begin in 1803 in the
barn where now stands 5 College Street which was built as a Chapel in
1836 and sold for use as a Boy's Brigade Hall.
The Chapel in Main
Street was built 156 years ago in 1854 and, following the Methodist
Union in 1932, became the chosen place for Methodist worship in the
village. Alterations were carried out in 1973 and in 2000 to improve
the facilities, including access and toilet for the less able, to
provide a fitting place for worship and community activities.
The chapel is one of
eighteen similar meeting places in the Grantham and Vale of Belvoir
Methodist Circuit 22/15 within the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire
Methodist District.
At East Bridgford the membership of 19 meet each week and visitors are welcomed to
services every Sunday at 10.00am with Holy Communion on the third
Sunday in the month.
An ecumenical Bible
Study is held at the Chapel on a Monday evening, meeting from 8.00pm until 9.00pm.
