Bishop’s Stortford Methodist Circuit
Beds, Essex and Herts
District 34/18
The Bishop’s Stortford Methodist Circuit is made up of one town centre church and two village
churches. It is geographically spread along a
north-south line straddling the Essex and Hertfordshire border, with Bishop’s
Stortford being the main church to the south. The churches are served by one
full-time Methodist minister and one full-time URC minister (currently an
interregnum), who also has responsibility for other URC churches in the area.
Many of the churches have strong ecumenical links, and two of the churches are
in Local Ecumenical Partnerships; one with the URC, and one with the URC and
Anglican churches. Saffron Walden Methodist Church closed in 2014, but some of
the congregation are worshipping at Abbey Lane URC in Saffron Walden. For more
information about Abbey Lane URC please click on the website link below. Braughing Methodist
Church closed in 2019 and the building has been sold. Worship is also led by one supernumerary minister, one associate
minister, and our team of five active local preachers and six worship leaders.
The churches have varying styles of worship from the traditional to the
informal.
