Please note, Rev Matt started a three month Sabbatical on Monday, 6 April so is personally not now available to take Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals or visit anyone who is ill etc.
The Minister looking after pastoral matters during this period, is our Superintendent of District, Rev Jane Carter (phone 07581 181 966).

Our Minister at Springwell is Rev Matt Sheard

Hi I’m Matt, and I am the minister of Springwell Methodist Church.

We want to welcome you to our church and our website in the name of our lord Jesus Christ.

We hope you find a home here and that you will journey with us, as we learn together about the amazingly good news of Jesus and the unimaginable depth of love that God has for each of us. So whether you are looking to find out more about Jesus or whether you are looking at our church website just to see who we are, you are welcome in this place.

So who am I? I love sport and love cooking. I weirdly have a GCSE in dance and I used to work on Phantom of the Opera. (The dance GCSE and working on Phantom the opera are not linked as I was a full time lighting technician!)

I’m passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus and know through personal experience the transformative power through Jesus’ death and resurrection that is on offer for each of us.

We would love to be able to tell you about this gift of love from God.

You would be most welcome at any of our events, groups or services.

You will be assured of a warm welcome.

Until Sunday, 5 April 2026, I can be contacted by phone at 0191 4312572 or leave your details here and they will be forwarded on to the Minister looking after matters while I am on my three months Sabbatical.

The Superintendent of our Bede Circuit is Rev Jane Carter.
