Welcome to
Les Capelles Methodist Church
Les Capelles Methodist Church and Community Centre welcomes everyone to join us in worship and in the variety of community activities that are organised throughout the year.
Why not come and say hello?
Les Capelles Methodist Church,
St Sampsons, Guernsey
Les Capelles Methodist Church members seek to build on contacts and outreach within the community, and to make the gospel message accessible to those who use the church premises but would not normally join in worship.
Our aim is to provide fellowship, support and spiritual growth as we explore our faith together.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
