About Us

Berkswich Methodist Church is situated in a large community to the south of Stafford. At the centre of the community is Walton High School with over 1500 pupils, and there are six primary schools. As a congregation we are made up of life-long Methodists who have been attending Berkswich since it was built, people who have moved into the area more recently, and those who have discovered that Berkswich is their church family. Normally we meet for worship each Sunday morning at 10am and the service generally lasts an hour. During Covid restrictions this service is available on YouTube. We also meet for church@4 at 4pm on a Sunday - this is designed with children and families in mind but all ages are welcome and do attend. During Covid restrictions church@4 meets on Zoom.
