The vision of Fulwood Free Methodist Church is:

"We long to be a loving community of God's life changing presence"

Over its history Fulwood has been a community which has seen a lot of life change, but God has so much more for us.

Fulwood Free Methodist Church opened in 1978 as a plant from the already existing Crown Lane Church. The church building is situated on the edge of Fulwood which was then a relatively new community. The initial building had capacity for 160.

In an eight year period, Fulwood grew to 250 and planted a daughter church to the south, in Penwortham. In the same year a new worship centre with a capacity of over 400 was also built. Our current logo which you will see at the top of this page is taken from that time. It depicts a team of workmen lining up the cross on a building that isn't yet finished. As a church we want to lift high the cross, but recognise that we are a building that is not yet finished.

Fulwood has always had a heart for local and global mission. One example of this is the ongoing commitment to Kibogora in Rwanda. Many people from the fellowship have visited this area of Central Africa since one of the early church members, Shiela Etherington OBE, followed a leading from God to go out into the mission field as a nurse. Fulwood has also supported the work financial for over 20 years.
