DuckDuckgoDBishop’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.
From September 2023 we are becoming part of
the Herts and Essex Border Ecumenical Area (HAEBEA)
and Bishops’s Stortford Circuit will no longer exist.
