Finance Forum

Most people think of finance as just being about keeping the accounts and making sure bills are paid on time – and although that is very important, it is not the most important thing about finance. Cornerstone Methodist Church has a mission to serve the community around us and speak the gospel of Jesus to the people we meet while doing that. Sadly in today’s world almost everything costs money and the amount needed increases all the time. The role of the Finance Forum is to make sure we have the money to support those who interact directly with the community in carrying out our mission. We do this by:
Using the money we have as efficiently as possible;
Encouraging our members and supporters to offer their money and/or their time and skills according to their ability;
Seeking other sources of income. Although we deal with what can be a murky world of money and finance, everything we do is underpinned by our faith, ethics and integrity and by our commitment to the gospel message.

Planning your Visit

A warm welcome

We are one Church in three locations and we will be pleased to welcome you. Although we are

different on the outside, inside you will find communities of believers gathering to praise and

worship God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and trying to live out our faith by serving others as best we can.

How to find us

Choose the chapel which is convenient for you, a map can be found on each chapel’s homepage.

For those arriving by car, there is a small car park at the London Road chapel, and nearby parking on the road and in public car parks. At St Andrew’s and Partridge Green there is parking in the roads nearby. If coming by train, St Andrew’s chapel is a 15 minute walk from Littlehaven station and London Road chapel about ten minutes from Horsham station.

Planning your visit

For your first visit, we suggest arriving about 10-15 minutes early. You will be greeted by a Welcome Steward who will be able to answer any questions you may have. All our chapels are wheelchair-accessible and have accessible toilets. There is also a hearing loop for those who need it. At all chapels hymn words are displayed on a screen, but hymn books are available if you prefer.

Our Services

The Sunday services in all our chapels is at 10.30am. For more information see our Sunday Services page (link). The service lasts for 60-75 minutes, and includes hymns and songs, prayer, Bible readings and a talk, usually based around the readings. The service is led by one of own ministers or by a lay person who has been trained in leading worship. Once a month in each chapel we celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion, to which all are welcome. Gluten-free bread and alcohol-free wine are used at this service. At the end of the service, tea, coffee and biscuits are served and there is the opportunity to chat informally. Please do introduce yourself, we will be pleased to get to know you.

Midweek worship

We realise that Sunday worship is not convenient for everyone. At our London Road chapel we have a fortnightly service on a Thursday, which is held either in the afternoon at 2.30pm or in the evening at 7.30pm. Please see our calendar for the dates. This is a shorter, more informal act of worship, accompanied by tea/coffee and cake, and held in the ‘Meeting Place’, a new space at the front of the chapel.

Can I bring my children?

Messy Church, which is especially for parents, carers and children, takes place at St Andrew’s on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 2-30 to 5pm and at Partridge Green during the school holidays (see our calendars for dates).
