The Methodist family of churches carries a long and particular story within the wider Church. The Methodist Church in Britain grew from the eighteenth-century revival led by John and Charles Wesley, whose open-air preaching reshaped British Christianity. Methodists emphasise personal faith, hymn singing and practical service to their neighbourhoods. The church has around 130,000 members and several thousand chapels and churches across Great Britain. The tradition traces its modern form to the 18th century. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts around 130,000 members in Great Britain.

It belongs to the broad community of churches across England, whose landscape holds everything from Saxon churches to congregations meeting in converted warehouses. Rowlands Gill lies within Tyne and Wear, whose county town is Newcastle upon Tyne. The church forms part of the wider Methodist presence across Tyne and Wear.
