After decades worshipping in Anglican Churches, the moment I walked into this church just two years ago, I knew I had found my spiritual home. There is an atmosphere of warmth, a welcoming embrace and a place of prayer. No church is perfect, but the support, kindness and spirit of co- operation of my Brothers and Sisters in Christ is a such a blessing.

I attend this church because I have always found the fellowship to be warm, friendly and inclusive, accepting of varying views and different paths to faith. It is encouraging to be part of a congregation which is very supportive of each other and exhibits a commitment to expressing God’s love, both within the church and in the wider community. I feel that being part of this church family has strengthened my faith as a Christian’

I have been coming to this Church all my life (over 60 years),  I started in Sunday School aged 3 and was made a member aged 14.  My family has been associated with the Church for nearly 100 years and three generations have been married here.  The people here are part of my extended family.

Having spent 40 years worshipping the Lord I love within a very formal liturgy in the Church of England, I was confronted by Lockdown and a void. 
I came to MHCC just as they reopened after lockdown, and was struck by the informality, the depth and the sheer joy of the worship. 
On that first visit I received such a warm welcome, and it happened again the following week and every week.  Inevitably I stayed and now, after two and a half years I am a full church member and the christian love extended to me at the beginning has continued.
This church is now my family, and their prayers, encouragement and love in good times and not so good times means such a lot to me.

I moved to live in Market Harborough in 2010 following retirement from work in Plymouth. Over the years I have attended both Methodist and Church of England Churches but in recent years mainly due to moving jobs and difficult working hours, my links with a church had lapsed.

I had decided that when we moved to Market Harborough I wanted to belong to a church community. Not knowing which church to go to in a new area I thought I would go try the church nearest to where I lived, and move on if it wasn’t what I wanted.

One summer morning I walked down the road to the Congregational Church I approached the church and on walking up the steps to go into the church I was immediately impressed with the warm welcome I was given. When I went inside the church everyone was so friendly and did their best to make me feel welcome. I didn’t go then for a few weeks I needed time to reflect on things and be sure this was what I wanted to do and that this was the church I wanted to join.

I have been a church member for almost a year now . I so look forward to going to church and meeting everyone. I feel that my Christian faith has been rekindled and the church members are very caring and committed community.
