The roots of Horfield Methodist Church are not in Gloucester Road but in Ashley Down Road in a building which became the Salvation Army Citadel. A school was opened in 1875 and the original owner of the building offered it to the Wesleyan Methodists for use on Sundays. The building was opened on 22nd January 1899 at a cost of £2906 19s. and 11d. It was constructed in French gothic/arts crafts style by La Trobe who designed various secular buildings in central Bristol.

In 1960 Berkeley Road Methodist Church closed and donated their organ to Horfield. A balcony was built and the new organ was installed at the back of the church.

The church has more symbolism than most Methodist churches but this is mostly a result of acquirement over the years. Several memorials are evident including the font, stained glass windows and the plaques dedicated to those who died in the Great Wars.

We are an Inclusive Church which hopes to welcome all, serve the community and spread God's love.
