Since opening on Ashley Road in 1914, Epsom Methodist Church has been at the heart of local life, supporting soldiers during World War I, leading gathered worship services, Sunday schools, organising outdoor events on the church’s grounds and serving as the base for the 7th Epsom (Methodist) Scout Group.

Over the decades Epsom Methodist Church has established itself as a resilient and inclusive hub for worship, Christian study, teaching and social outreach in Epsom.
