Welcome

We are proud to bear the name of the great city of Liverpool, with all its associations of music and culture, learning, sport and enterprise: but the District is much more than the city.

We stretch from Southport in the north to Wirral in the south and include parts of Lancashire and Cheshire to the east. Although predominantly urban, the District does include some rural communities and Churches. 

Current Issues

A new North West Methodist District

On September 1st, 2024, five Districts united to form a new North West England Methodist District. As a result, this website is no longer functional, and the information it contains may be out-of-date. We will be taking the site down soon, with thanks to all who have contributed both to the site and the work of the Liverpool District.

You can visit the website of the new District here: The North West England District

Warm Spaces

Methodist churches have responded to the cost-of-living crisis by opening their doors to ensure that communities are not left out in the cold. More than 450 Methodist churches have now registered on the Warm Welcome website as being willing to offer somewhere for people to find heat, comfort and companionship. This makes the Methodists second only to the Church of England in uptake of the scheme. Click the link to read more.
The Revd Dr Sheryl Anderson
It is a varied and vibrant part of the world filled with much to encourage and excite. And this is true also of the Church, where many faithful people seek to follow the way of Jesus. Across the District, Churches are reaching into their communities in service; new ways of worship and service are being explored; and the District seeks to support and encourage them in this. 

In recent years the District has engaged seriously with the issues surrounding our more effective use of the God-given resources available to us in people, time, money and buildings. As a consequence we now comprise 9 Circuits for our, approximately, 6500 Methodist members. This is a process which will need to continue as we seek to be ever more effective in our witness for Jesus Christ and our desire, in all parts of the District, to offer to the communities we serve that hope which is God’s gift to the world in Jesus.

Venue: Prescot and Whiston Methodist Church.  L34 5QN or join us on Zoom.

Come and join us for a day of conversation and dialogue – preaching and leading worship around tension and conflict.  What does the Bible say about conflict?  How do I bring this to worship and into a sermon?  The day will offer a reflection from the Director of Place for Hope, www.placeforhope.org.uk , interactive workshops and guidance on preaching and leading worship around the theme of conflict and tension.  You can access the day in person or online – but book soon as places are limited.
