Connect at Ilkeston Methodist Church

At Ilkeston Methodist Church, we believe that church is more than Sunday worship — it’s a family you can belong to. As you connect, volunteer, and share your gifts, you become part of a community where faith grows, friendships deepen, and everyone is valued.

Use Your Talents

Your gifts matter. Whether you enjoy writing, filming, crafting, cooking, DIY, photography, design, fundraising, or event planning, your skills can help shape our church’s story. If you feel that a story needs to be told, or you have creative ideas for media or presentations, we would love your input.

Become Part of the IMC Family

Because we want everyone to feel included, we offer opportunities for all ages, interests, and abilities. And if you have a passion or skill not listed here, we would love to hear from you.
