Our Minister Rev Andy Murphy and his wife Emily

Welcome to Daventry Methodist Church.  (Well, welcome to our website – but this is a good place to start!)

As minister here, I am very proud to be part of a diverse and vibrant community of Christian faith, reaching out into the local community and offering a warm welcome to all who come to be part of our activities or want to express their faith as members of our church.

This is an inclusive and welcoming church, with a heart for social justice, keeping people safe, friendship and fellowship, worship for all ages, and nurture in the Christian faith.  We have an intergenerational families and children’s worker, Mandie Price, and we also have a Community Chaplain, Kate Hitchcox, both of whom I’m very glad to be working alongside.

You would be very welcome to come to any of our services – morning (10.30am) and evening (6.30pm).  We will also welcome any from the community for baptism (for babies, children or adults), confirmation, and weddings (and we have voted in favour of same-sex marriage, with our licence pending) – so please contact us to find out more.  Everyone is also welcome to join us for Holy Communion when we celebrate the Lord’s Supper (about once a month at both our morning and evening services).

No church is perfect, but we are trying hard to get the big things right, so please contact us if you feel we can help you in any other way, or if you have any suggestions for things we’re not doing already.  We very much hope you enjoy your time with us, and together we can grow more in the love of God – who is, after all, the reason for all of this!

Wishing you every blessing,

Andy Murphy.
