Who we are

Vickerstown Methodist celebrated 25 years of meeting and worshipping in what we still think of as our ‘new’ building in June 2023, sharing a meal, looking back over our scrapbooks of the fundraising effort and the building process, and having a special anniversary service.

After the disruption of Covid and the various lockdowns we were delighted to resume meeting for worship regularly on the joyous occasion of Easter Sunday 2021 – the Easter cross we created, decorated with greenery and flowers from the church garden as signs of new life and hope, is pictured later. We still place our chairs a short distance apart and have hand sanitiser available, and some attendees wear masks on occasion – we want everyone to feel comfortable attending worship. It was lovely to see how church members kept in touch throughout the lockdowns and supported each other by phone, but we do enjoy meeting together again and sharing coffee and fellowship after services too! It has been great to welcome a few new people in the last couple of years, though we remain a small congregation. The weekly ‘Worship at Home’ sheets started during lockdown continue to be circulated (and much appreciated) as an alternative option and some have explored online worship resources, learning new ways of meeting with God in difficult times.

We are located within the Vickerstown area on Walney Island, part of Barrow-in-Furness. The church enjoys a lovely view over Walney Channel and up towards the Lake District hills (as well as a fine view of the shipyard buildings!) over its sheltered garden. To find us, come over the bridge from Barrow and turn right down the Promenade past the Ferry pub, look out on your left for the church sign pointing up the bank next to the wooden cross. Take the first left turn, then immediately turn left again and then once more, drive to the end of the road (Warren Street) and you will be there.
