Welcome!

Welcome to Eaton Bray Methodist Church.  This Christian community has been here for over 200 years. We are a warm and friendly group of people, of all ages and from all walks of life. We meet to worship God and try to live as good neighbours and support our fellow villagers. Our mission is to celebrate God’s love, sharing it with each other and the world around us.

Eaton Bray Methodist Church was built in 1795 on land purchased for £7.10s after men and women of the village had crossed the fields to hear John Wesley preach under the Giant Elm at Tilsworth. It was known as the Mother Church, the oldest in the Bedford circuit, and enjoyed a membership of 34 when Dunstable had 15.
