Who we are
We are the Methodist People of Mid-Hertfordshire
We belong to the Methodist Church in Britain, which is itself part of the worldwide family of Methodist churches. We are also part of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (https://ctbi.org.uk )and we value our ecumenical links.
Methodist churches in Britain are grouped into 36 Districts and each District is divided into geographical areas, called Circuits, for mutual help and support, for example, by sharing preachers and other resources. We are in the Beds, Essex and Herts District which comprises 12 circuits in those 3 counties.
Our circuit is called St. Albans and Welwyn and covers an area of mid-Hertfordshire, and has 10 churches:
In St Albans there are congregations at Hatfield Road and Marlborough Road Methodist Churches.
In the Welwyn and Hatfield area there are congregations at Birchwood, Digswell Village, Ludwick Way, Oxlease and Panshanger.
In the Hertsmere area at St John's Potters Bar, Shenley and Radlett.
Three of these churches are part of ecumenical partnerships: Digswell Village Church (with the Church of England), Radlett (with the United Reformed Church) and Panshanger (with the Church of England, the United Reformed Church and the Baptist Church).
The Mission of the St Albans & Welwyn Circuit is to reveal the Kingdom of God through the Methodist people and their ecumenical partners across central Hertfordshire. We aim to do this through the Holy Spirit in the worship of God, building up the church, making disciples of Jesus Christ and transforming society by working for justice, peace and unity.

Birchwood Methodist Church History
Birchwood's History
The history of the Chapel goes back to about 1851 when it is reported that 5 members of the Methodist Church held services in the old cow shed situated at the stable end of the Two Brewers Public House at the top of Church Street, now St Audrey's residential home.
By 1864 the congregation numbered 18 and the Moocow Chapel, as it was called, had been in use for forty years while a suitable site for a new chapel was sought Eventually a site was purchased for £800. Memorial stones were laid on 28th May 1889 by Mrs. Camp. The new chapel cost £1,200 and Mr. Camp, of Roe Green donated a considerable sum towards the cost. The new chapel was opened in October 1889.
The membership increased for fifty years up to 1938 when the congregation moved to a new chapel in Birchwood Avenue and Tingey and Son took over the old chapel.
In the 1990s the building was showing its age and plans were afoot to redevelop. Finally in 2014 the current church was built.
