We are a Worldwide Church
Following a spiritual awakening in 1727 the Church saw its purpose as taking the Gospel to those parts of the world that were unevangelised.
In consequence the Moravian Church today is found in places as far apart as Nicaragua and North India, Alaska and Africa. In all there are some 20 areas of the globe where there are Christians of the Moravian tradition, over three quarters of a million people.
Where in the U.K. are we now?
Moravians first came to Britain in the 1730s and set up congregations by invitation of local people often establishing Settlements with their own farms, industries and schools. Even today the Church has two private boarding/day schools at Ockbrook near Derby and Fulneck near Leeds.
About 50 years ago the Moravian Church in England was strengthened by the arrival of members from the Caribbean who gave new life to the work in this country.
Today there are five regional areas where the Church can be found; in London and Central Eastern England, the West country, West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Belfast and the counties Antrim and Down in N.Ireland.
A few of the 35 congregations are in country villages, but most are in urban areas. All have the same warmth of fellowship, which is a marked feature of all Moravian communities. To explore the UK location map click on the flashing map
