Bowburn Methodist Church has a membership of 15 with an average congregation of about 20 worshipping every Thursday morning. The congregation, of all ages, is drawn mainly from Bowburn and the two surrounding villages of Shincliffe and High Shincliffe.
The present building was built in 1910, following the amalgamation of the “Tin Chapel”- a Primitive Methodist church which was on the top of the hill in Bowburn; and the “Central” Methodist church at the bottom of the hill. Initially it served the spiritual needs of a mining community.
A traditional Methodist chapel, the congregation welcomes newcomers with warmth and fellowship. We also worship God together bear witness to God through service in the local community.
Service times
Thursday 11:30 am.
Activities
The “Drop In”
During school term times, the mothers and carers of pre-school children of the local community meet on Thursdays from 9.00 am to 11.30 am in the church hall. Refreshments, games and entertainment for the children are provided.
There is also a “quiet room” and always someone present, for those, perhaps recently bereaved, who wish to chat over coffee to a sympathetic ear.
