Gibraltar Methodist Church, Protestant church building in Gibraltar, United Kingdom
The Gibraltar Methodist Church is a Protestant place of worship on Main Street, the central shopping street running through the heart of Gibraltar. The building houses a Methodist congregation and is open for regular services throughout the week.
Methodist worship in Gibraltar traces back to 1769, when British soldiers, among them Sergeant-major Henry Ince, began holding private religious gatherings. Those early meetings gradually grew into a formal congregation with its own place of worship on Main Street.
The church draws a mixed congregation of British residents, military personnel, and local Gibraltarians who attend services together. Worship is conducted in English, reflecting the territory's close ties to Britain.
The church sits on Main Street, which is easy to walk along from the town center. Visitors are welcome to attend services, and it is worth checking current times in advance as they can vary.
In 2006, Fidel Patron became the first person born in Gibraltar to serve as the church's Superintendent Minister. Before that appointment, leadership roles had always been filled by people from outside the territory.
