德比華人循道衛理會於二千年成立，第一次崇拜乃於當年十二月二十四日，由退休資深賀牧師主持。
感謝主，自本教會第一任全職牧師，葉國光牧師，二零零九年上任後，教會人數穩步上升至超過一百人，其中包括多於四十位十六歲以下的兒童及青少年。教會成員年齡從年幼到長者，他們分別來自香港，中國大陸及馬來西亞，從事不同職業如工程，教育及中國餐飲業。另每年也有不同人數的中國海外留學生。
我們每星期定期在德比有主日崇拜，當中有提供翻譯的國、粵語證道，此外每星期有查經班，祈禱會及團契活動。兒童主日學每週日舉行，按年齡分為三班，出席人數也非常踴躍。
葉牧師榮休後，二零二零年九月張振光牧師成為本堂現任牧師，他同時亦在樂福堡華人循道會事奉。
期待及熱烈歡迎大家加入我們教會的聚會!
The Derby Chinese Methodist Church was formed in December 2000. The first service was on Christmas Eve that year, led by Rev John Hodgkinson, a retired minister who was well experienced in Chinese ministry.
The congregation remained small until the arrival of our first full time minister, Rev Kok Kong Yap in late 2009 when it steadily grows to over a hundred of which over forty are under sixteen. Its age group range from the very young to the elderly. They come originally from Hong Kong, mainland China and Malaysia, working in a variety of professions, such as engineering, teaching and the Chinese catering business. The number of Chinese overseas students who attend varies from year to year.
We have regular Sunday worship at Ashbourne Road Church in Derby. The service is conducted in Mandarin with Cantonese interpreting and vice versa. There are also regular, weekly bible study and prayers meetings and active fellowship groups.
A weekly Sunday School consists of three group with children at different ages is also regularly well attended.
Following the retirement of Rev Yap, we welcome our current minister, Rev Calvin Cheung who joined us in September, 2020 and is also the minister at Loughborough Chinese Methodist Church.
We look forward to welcoming you.
