It was the third successive year the event was held at the church and staged by Ferryhill-based performing arts group Enter.CIC.
With good weather, about 80 children, their parents and family enjoyed seeing Santa.
Dave Cadman, from the Etherley Methodists, said: “Every year, Enter.CIC transforms the church interior into a different theatrical event which is both very atmospheric and magical.
“Feedback this year has been amazing, and its seems this year was rated the best so far, with parents already trying to book again for the 2017 performance.”
He added: “Enter.CIC have established an outstanding record of performances in County Durham and further away and we feel very lucky we have established this joint event with them.”
At the start of their journey to see Santa, children are welcomed into a holding area, where they are entertained and their families treated to tea and festive cheer.
The journey to meet Santa takes about 20 minutes as they are transported into the church.
“The atmosphere here was also tremendous, and packed with excitement, both before and after they had taken their magical journey,” said Mr Cadman.
