Welcome

                  

On 1st September 2006, the Methodist and United Reformed Churches in Stansted (Essex) joined to form Stansted Free Church (Methodist/URC).  The Methodists had been worshipping in the Quaker Meeting House for over 75 years, as they had no building of their own.  They are delighted to now have their own ‘home’!

 

The joint church meets in the former United Reformed Church in Chapel Hill, Stansted CM24 8AG.

The church and hall have recently been refurbished to provide a welcoming and comfortable environment with full disabled facilities and free car parking

We have one Methodist and one URC minister who share a joint ministry. Our Methodist minister, Rev David Keeble, joined us in September 2010, and we were delighted to welcome our new URC minister, Rev Allen Morton in May 2008. Our worship is varied with some formal services and some informal services catering for all ages. Both our ministers also have responsibility for the respective Bishop’s Stortford churches (see links below).
