HISTORY

The origins of Broomhedge Methodist Church go back to 1751 though the present church building was constructed in 1897. Today, Broomhedge has a friendly congregation of about forty, which includes an active Sunday School work. A youth club meets in the church hall on Saturday nights and the congregation undertake numerous gospel and social activities throughout the year.

The present minister, the Rev Dr Peter Mercer commenced his ministry at Broomhedge Methodist Church on Sunday 5th July 2009 and at Magheragall Methodist Church on Sunday 2nd August 2009. Previously minister of Greencastle Church on the Newtownabbey Mission Circuit, Dr Mercer will have pastoral oversight of both Broomhedge and Magheragall in succession to the Rev Ed McDade. Retired Minister, the Rev Dr Edmund Mawhinney, will assist Dr Mercer at Magheragall and Broomhedge. Mr McDade, who previously had pastoral oversight of Broomhedge, Magheragall and Trinity Methodist Churches, will now concentrate his ministerial duties solely on Trinity Methodist Church.
