The Church in Toft
The Church in Toft
The Church in Toft was a Covenanted Partnership LEP between two congregations, one Methodist and one Anglican. The Methodist Chapel closed in July 2025 and this marked the conclusion of the Ecumenical Partnership. In August 2025 the Anglican Church launched an "Ecumenical Welcome" to maintain ecumenical working in Toft.
These two churches in Toft worked together for ministry in the village. Collectively they were known as “The Church in Toft.” In their words:
"The Church in Toft is a small, friendly, village church community. We are an 'ecumenical' bunch led by Methodists and Anglicans, but do as much as we can together as one church community through a Local Ecumenical Partnership."
The churches continued to be governed separately and had separate finances, but they worshipped together all the time and acted as one church. An Ecumenical Ministry Team worked together to lead the life of the church.
You can find St Andrew's Parish Church on Church Road, Toft, Cambridge, CB23 2RH. Toft Methodist Chapel was on High Street, Toft, Cambridge, CB23 2RL.
