Mickleover Methodist
Church has had buildings on this site since 1914, has always had close
relationships with the Mickleover community and has tried to provide
facilities, services and events that meet its needs. If

The
new Methodist Church Centre, which was officially opened in September
2001, has been designed to further develop that tradition into the new
century. It incorporates a Chapel, a dividable large hall, a small hall,
offices, a modern kitchen, extensive audio-visual
equipment and full facilities for children and the disabled. |
|
Regular community users include Church Groups,
Playgroups, the Child Health Clinic, Scouts, Girls' Brigade and the
Mickleover Live at Home Scheme. Other
organisations also use it on both a regular and casual basis.
