About Us
Heswall Methodist Church has been serving the local community since the mid-1800s following the dedicated and enthusiastic work of our forbearers. The Church is part of the Wirral Methodist Circuit and enjoys a long association with the many Methodist churches on peninsular in mutual support and shared purpose. The Church is led by the Minister, Rev Steve Carpenter and stewards Christine Anderson and Andrew Boswell, together with an excellent Church Leadership Team who lead in the general life of the church.
Our vision is to see Christ proclaimed and lives transformed in the love of God.
In the next five years in evangelism, worship, discipleship and caring we want to see:
- New people wanting to become Christians as the church shares the good news of Christ in word and works.
- Leadership that motivates, innovates and envisions, prioritising growth.
- Vibrant worship with passionate worshippers transformed by the Holy Spirit in awe of God.
- A deeper faith and love the Lord, with a new passion for God through renewal who long to see God’s kingdom increased.
- People increasingly experiencing healing and wholeness through knowing the love of Christ.
We are led by our minister Rev Steve Carpenter (above) and our strong and able leadership team, some of whom are pictured above right. Steve and his family joined the Circuit in 2014 having previously been a senior manager in the Department of Work and Pensions and brings extensive pastoral, preaching and management skills. He became our minister in January 2018.
