The Methodist Church is one of the main Christian Denominations and is part of the Evangelical Alliance. More information can be found on the national web site:

Oakhill Methodist Church is part of the West Mendip Methodist Circuit. Preachers come from all over the area to lead our services. However, usually we have our own Minister, Rev. Roly Sims once a month; Local Preacher John Gilling once a month; and Local Preacher and Sunday School Leader Gary Ralls once a month.
We are a small congregation from the villages around Oakhill; we include several families and run lots of activities.
The extracts that follow are reproductions from a booklet published in 1975 by The Oakhill Press, entitled "Oakhill Methodist Church 1825 - 1975" and was written by Mr. John Gilling to mark the 150th anniversary of the Church. I have painstakingly retyped it into the web site so that you may have an opportunity to read what has now become a part of the Church's history itself. I hope you enjoy reading it.
