The church has close associations with Bardney Abbey, a Benedictine monastery founded in 697 by King Ethelred of Mercia.
A Methodist Society was formed in Bardney as early as 1788, 44 years after John Wesley's first conference.
This small village church was built as a temporary structure in 1898 by the villagers and the local carpenter Richard Turner, at a cost of about £130. It stands on a concrete base with stones from Bardney Abbey embedded in its foundations. The building is unique in that it does not require Faculty. There is a new five panel stained glass window commissioned in 2014 to commemorate the 100 years of World War I.
