Bracknell was one of the New Towns built after the war to accomodate the overspill from a rapidly increasing London. When the first estates started to be built in the 1950s it was decided that the Priestwood estate would house a Methodist Church. So in 1956 a small group of Methodists began meeting on Sundays in the builder's hut on the estate. After much planning our present building opened its doors on Easter Sunday 1959
Since then a lot has happened and our church has continued to grow. There have been two major extensions to our facilities, in 1969 and 1990, as the church changed to meet the requirments of a growing community. New faces have come, ministers have been and gone, and services have been changed to meet changes in the wider world. Our church is a very different community now than it was in those early days.
Every 10 years we do something special to celebrate and 2006 being our 50th anniversary was very special to us. You will find the story of what we did on our 2006 Anniversary pages together with more on the history of the church.
To find Bracknell Methodist Church take the Binfield Road B3018 from Bracknell town centre. Shortly past the Total garage turn right into Shepherds Lane at the crossroads. The church is located several hundred yards down on the left, just past the Prince of Wales public house. The car park is at the rear off Agar Crescent. Click here for a map.
