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 been refurbished to provide a welcoming and comfortable environment with a
small fitted kitchen, full disabled facilities and free car parking. The hall
is used regularly by village groups but is also available for hire for one-off
events. Free internet access is
available for all users of the church and the hall. Please email
us for details.

We currently have a
URC minister Rev’d Roy Fowler who began his ministry
with us in October 2014. Our worship is varied with some formal services and
some informal services catering for all ages. During the winter months, our
services are sometimes held in our warm and comfortable hall. Stansted Free Church is part of the Bishop’s Stortford
Methodist Circuit and the West Essex & Bishop’s Stortford URC Pastorate
(WEBS), which also includes Bishop’s Stortford URC, Clavering LEP and Saffron Walden URC. Rev’d
Caroline Vodden has pastoral responsibility for the Saffron Walden and
Clavering churches, but like Roy, serves all the churches in the pastorate.
