Nestled between the Leeds Town Hall and the Combined Courts, the Oxford Place Methodist Church, also known as Leeds Methodist Church, is a notable landmark in the heart of Leeds. Celebrating over 175 years of history since its foundation in 1835, this church has become a central figure in the city's religious and community life.

The church's architecture is a splendid example of the Gothic Revival style, marked by its majestic dome and pointed arches that draw the eye upward. The intricate stained glass windows cast a kaleidoscope of colors inside, creating a serene ambiance that contrasts with the urban bustle outside its doors.

As the home of the Methodist Mission, Oxford Place Methodist Church does more than offer spiritual services; it actively engages with the community by hosting events, social services, and support programs for the homeless and disadvantaged. This blend of religious dedication and community service cements its role as a vital community hub in Leeds.

For both locals and tourists, Oxford Place Methodist Church is more than a place of worship; it's a beacon of historical significance and a pillar of support in the Leeds community, embodying a spirit of continuity and commitment amidst the city's ongoing evolution.
