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). Our church forms part of the Cumbria Methodist Circuit, which is in the North West England District of the national Methodist Church.
We are a Fairtrade Church, and we achieved Bronze Eco Church status in November 2021.
We worship every Sunday morning at 11am and everyone is very welcome, especially visitors. The building is fully-accessible and unrestricted parking is available along the Main Street on Sundays (1-hour disk zone on Saturdays and weekdays until 6pm).
Our ministers are the Revd. Nick Baker, who is Deputy-superintendent minister of the Circuit, and Deacon Samm Morris. (Samm and Nick pictured below)

The preaching plan for the current quarter can be found on the circuit website here by selecting "Anytime, Egremont, Anyone, Anything" from the options.
