Bladon is a small village located about 10 miles north of Oxford, near the town of Woodstock and Blenheim Palace.
There is a morning service at Bladon most Sunday mornings at 11 o'clock. The services are fairly short, typically around 20 to 30 minutes long, and are either lead by our Minister, Rev Jonathan Todd or a local Methodist lay preacher or occasionally one of our own youth leaders. Whoever is leading the service you can be guaranteed it will be fun and entertaining for both children and adults!

Occasionally we hold a United Village Service with our friends at St Martin's Church in Bladon, where Sir Winston Churchill is buried. In 2005 a small piece of local history was made when our Minster, Rev Dr Martin Wellings conducted holy communion at St Martin's for the first time - you can see a picture of the occasion here. For more details on our weekly services please see our services page.
After the service the  Junior Church retire to the schoolroom to continue their activities. There is a large and active Junior Church at Bladon and you can read all about their activities on their own website which can be accessed via our kids section.

In 1977 the church was fully refurbished - the floor was carpeted, the fixed wooden pews were replaced with comfortable chairs and a rostrum was installed. To see pictures of the church just before the refurbishment click here.

Welcome to the website of Bladon Methodist Church.

To help with the running costs of the church, in the autumn of 2007 we launched The Friends of Bladon Methodist Church. You can read more about this scheme and about our exciting plans to redevelop the church premises here.
More recently we have installed a stage lighting grid, a sound system and bought a data projector which is used to great effect every Sunday morning.
