Methodists have been worshipping and meeting together in Southowram
and area for over 200 years. On Easter Sunday 2005 a new phase in the
life of this church began when the Methodist people moved from their
much loved chapel to worship and witness at the heart of the local community.
Sunday morning worship takes place each week in the Village Community
Centre (Law Lane) at 10.45am. Here you will find a warm and friendly
welcome. Occasionally services are held at a different time of day and
this is indicated on the plan.
Directions to Southowram Community Centre When approaching Southowram from the direction of Bank Top go through
the traffic calming system by Withinfields School.
After the row of houses on the left you will see some garages set back
from the road. Turn left immediately before the garages (into the garage
area). Continue straight ahead down the lane and through the gates to
the Community Centre. The approach to the Community centre is along an
unmade road.
