About Us

We are a Christian church family of the Methodist tradition, and our members and friends enjoy a variety of worship and activities. Our building, The Meeting Place, is located on the Main Street in Egremont, West Cumbria (CA22 2DR map). The church forms part of the Western Fells Methodist Circuit, which is in the Cumbria District of the national Methodist Church.

We are a Fairtrade Church, and we achieved Bronze Eco Church status in November 2021.

Our ministers are the Revd. Paul Saunders, who is Superintendent Minister of the Circuit, and Deacon Kina Saunders.

Please see the Regular Activities and Events pages for details of what is going on in and around our church and click here for this week's Notice Sheet (Word document). Our quarterly Newsletter is also available (pdf file).

The preaching plan for the current quarter can be downloaded from the circuit website here.
