Welcome to the website of Portsmouth Methodist Church.

At Portsmouth Methodist Church we extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to everyone. This is summarised in these words adapted from the Iona Communion Liturgy

So come, you who have much faith and you who would like to have more; you who have been here often and you who have not been for a long time; you who have tried to follow Jesus, and you who have failed; come.

IT IS CHRIST WHO INVITES US TO MEET HIM HERE.
