Oughtibridge Chapel


We’ve joined Oughtibridge Parish Church!


In September 2021, the Oughtibridge Chapel church family decided unanimously
to become part of Oughtibridge Parish Church (OPC). This was the culmination
of a six month process working through this together and we joined OPC and
began to meet and operate as a single, enlarged church family in October 2021.

The ‘Oughtibridge Wesleyan Reform Chapel’ church congregation have been meeting
in the village since 1851 with a rich heritage of worshipping our Lord and
Saviour, faithfully reading and teaching the Bible and bearing witness, sharing
the great news of the Christian faith, over many generations. Many have come to
faith, committed their lives to knowing and serving our Lord Jesus, many have
gone on to serve Him across the UK and around the world, and many have faithfully
led and served within the church. We are so grateful for all that the Lord has
done over so many years through our church and are excited about what the future
holds in the coming chapters as the story of God working in Oughtibridge continues!

It was a big decision for us to join OPC and we believe we have made this move for
all the right reasons. The two churches are both physically and theologically in
very close proximity and we had already been working together in several ways for
over two years, since September 2019. In short, we are much ‘better together’ and
are able to combine all our people, resources, buildings, abilities and gifts to be
a better church in our community, both today and in the longer term.
