There has been a Methodist witness in Brighstone since the early 1800s and the original Chapel still survives, now as a private dwelling. The new building, near the centre of the village, was opened in 1999 and has comfortable seating, a kitchen, modern toilets, easy access for the disabled and ample parking space.  Following the closure of Shorwell Methodist Church, the two churches merged in 2021, to form Brigshtone and Shorwell Methodist Church

We are a congregation who meet for worship every Sunday. Most of our services are led by Local Preachers, and the style is sometimes traditional, sometimes informal. Whatever the style, our aim is to learn more about Jesus Christ - what He said, what He did, what happened to Him and what this means for us today. We want to grow in faith and understanding and in our personal commitment to Him.

If you're looking for a friendly church, with an encouraging atmosphere in which to explore and develop your Christian faith – come and join us, we would love to meet you.
