in Bamford is a small congregation of energetic people committed to
worshipping
and serving God. As far as we are able we seek to follow the example
and teaching of Jesus. |

Our commitment to caring and service begins within our own community but our horizons are world-wide. Our wish is that God's love as shown in Jesus may become a reality in the lives of all - then Christ's 'kingdom' will indeed have come 'on earth'. |

We are part of the larger Methodist Church of Great Britain; in the first instance by being part of the Peak Circuit which supplies direction and support in terms of preaching and pastoral ministry. We in turn are served and cared for by our minister, the Rev. Richard Towle, who resides at Hathersage. |

Our new ministerRichard comes to us from the Northwich Circuit in Cheshire where he has
served for eight years. There he had pastoral charge of six rural churches.
He says that he loves rural work and, whilst he is not thrilled by business
meetings he does feel it a privilege to be able to work full time telling
people about Jesus.
