We would love to celebrate everyone who has shared in this Methodist Community. If you have a few words or a picture with a brief explanation, please share your experiences of being part of this community with us via our church administrator  email.  If nothing to say just now, do come along to look at the exhibition over the weekend of 14th  -15th November.

Heworth 200 years ago
John Wesley (1703 - 1792)  was an English cleric, theologian, and evangelist who was a principal leader of a revival movement within the Church of England known as Methodism. There was a growing Methodist Community here in Heworth during the late 1700s, but it wasn't until 5th November 1826, that the first Methodist Church was opened here in Heworth.   

Local stories of Heworth Methodist Community
In 2026, Heworth Methodists are celebrating 200 years of Methodist Community from the Heworth Village location.
Yes, that's right, for two centuries our church family have been a cornerstone of the Heworth commnuity. 

We are wondering if you or any family member been part of this community?

Were you or family members baptised here? 
Did you attend Sunday School here as a child or young person? 
Maybe you got married here? 
Do you have a heart for this place through events attended (e.g. WI, uniformed organisations, choirs) and connections with its people? 

If you say 'yes' to any of these, we would love to hear from you! 
Maybe you only have a few words or a picture with a brief explanation, please share your experiences of being part of this community with us via our church administrator  email. With your permission, these experiences will be shared in the exhibition. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

This November, we will also be holding our Forest Church in Glen Gardens. This is part of a new  community across York. A  local community with places to  pause and to connect with nature, with something bigger than individuals by  themselves, (God or however you may wish to think about such connections)  and with one another.
