We are working towards becoming an ECO Church, reducing our carbon footprint and impact on the environment. We undertake initiatives such as toilet twinning via Tearfund. We also have several collections throughout the year for the Food Bank for the local community.

 

There has been a Methodist Church on this site since 1835. The old church was demolished in 1972 and the present church opened in 1974. Throughout our history, our focus and our mission has not changed: “Together in Faith – Forward in Mission”. We have welcome stewards and anyone coming is warmly greeted. Wesley is well known for its friendly fellowship. We have a very active Prayer Link and Pastoral Carers.

 

We have a weekly Connect newsletter to keep in touch and to provide worship material for use in the home. We were one of the first churches in the Circuit to use zoom technology for our services, we still do regularly. This year there have been two Bible Study sessions.
