Marg, I think it's Preacher and not Teacher.
I'm still trying to work out the rest of it.

After Methodist I think there are two further words, with the second one being Church.

Yes, Jay, was just about to post this.

I googled and found there was a Methodist Free Church.

Thank you. That makes sense.
That church is still standing. It is now a cafe called The Trinity.
