Leeds Methodist Mission

in the city centre

About

In Leeds city centre Methodism has an inspiring history of Christian outreach alongside social action. This year we are on the cusp of a new and exciting phase for this work. As we look to the future we are asking ourselves, what will our mission look like in this new phase?

We hope to create some community spaces in the city centre as well as supporting a community of people passionate about Leeds. So watch this space as things develop. Follow us on social media.

Our vision

Leeds Methodist Mission in the city centre brings together people passionate about Leeds. A community of people who want to see their city flourish in new and exciting ways. We are led by a Christian ethos and inspired by a Methodist tradition.
