Welcome
to the North Lancashire Methodist District web site. This is a most
beautiful part of England as the District stretches from the Fylde
Coast through the Ribble Valley to the Trough of Bowland. It covers
most of new Lancashire and is a mixture of small rural villages,
market towns and larger towns well known for being part of the once
thriving cotton trade.

Today the main employer would be British Aerospace and BNFL plus many people still working in the agriculture
sector. There are around 10,500 members of the Methodist Church in
North Lancashire in 145 churches. Many of the church communities are
facing up to the challenges of relating the Gospel to the present
day culture and you will find exciting stories of this as you scan
the pages. I hope that as you visit some of the sites you will
encounter God’s people trying to make their faith relevant to
everyday life. Revd Stephen Poxon - Chairman of the District
