Frodsham Methodist Church
Frodsham Methodist Church, a church in the Connexion of the Methodist Church of Great Britain, is located in the market town of Frodsham in Cheshire.
We are part of, what Methodist jargon calls, the Delamere Forest Circuit and, in turn, the Chester and Stoke-on-Trent District. The Delamere Forest Circuit (a geographical area somewhat akin to an Anglican Deanery) covers Methodist Churches in Frodsham, Helsby, Kelsall, Kingsley, Tarporley, Tarvin, Ashton, Oakmere, Bunbury and Tiverton.
There have been Methodist people worshipping in Frodsham since at least 1776 and there have been numerous places of worship since then. The spire of Trinity Methodist Church on High Street in the centre of Frodsham is still a local landmark, for instance.
Today, we are a large, welcoming Church of about 180 members (and many more 'adherents', regular attenders and users of our facilities) offering something for everyone. Frodsham Methodist Church is now based in the building on Kingsley Road in the Fivecrosses/Overton area of the town. The building was completed in 1885, although it has been extended and renovated extensively since. In 2010, we celebrated 125 years of the present building (pictures below).
The alterations to our worship area were completed in 2004. As a Church we wanted to hold fast to our Methodist heritage as well as look to the future and the modernisation gives the Church a very contemporary feel and has allowed for diversity and innovation in our worship. We also benefit from a Church Hall at the rear of our premises which has a large hall, small hall, toilets and modern kitchen.
In March, 2011, 'The Annexe' was officially opened by the Mayor and Mayoress of Frodsham at the time, Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Lloyd (pictures below). 'The Annexe' is the latest addition to our Church premises with a large room specially designed for messy activities like crafts and cookery, meeting/quiet room, Circuit and Church office as well as kitchenette and accessible toilet. We also have a soft play area and quiet garden outside.
Parking is available on the Church Premises (comfortably for about 25 motor cars) and also on quiet residential streets nearby.
