    Birdwell Methodist Church is a welcoming, friendly church, opened in March 2004. It is situated on Sheffield Road, which is the main A61 road through Birdwell, and is just ¾ mile from junction 36 of the M1 motorway (See our map at the foot of the page). Our modern building, with sanctuary at the front (with a beautiful and inspirational stained-glass window), and a large hall to the rear, caters for all ages. There are three clubs for children, plus another for birth-to-four years of age. Upstairs we have two further rooms, one of which is fitted out as an IT suite. Our Sunday morning services vary in style, with hymns and worship songs to suit the occasion. We also have an evening service at 6.15 pm on special Sundays such as Easter, Church Anniversary, Harvest Festival etc.   Please go to our Calendar page for details of events, activities and services taking place.

    Our Mission Statement:
     ‘God is calling us to be a welcoming Christ-centred people who, as we witness to God’s love in Birdwell, are touched by the needs of the local community’.
