Independent Methodist Church

The main service of the week is the Sunday morning service at 10 – 45 a.m. but we like to arrive early and join in the singing that is led by the worship band.
We also like to remain in the church for tea and fellowship after the service, very often we remain behind to join in a 3 course lunch prepared for us by Keith who likes to keep us very well fed !! There is also a well stocked Christian book and card stall. A very good sound system with radio microphones has been installed in the church this is a great help to the hard of hearing and for use at concerts. There is also an inductio loop system for the hearing impaired. There is a disabled ramp at the front of the church and we hope to improve this along with the steps and the installation of disabled toilet facilities very soon.
The Sunday School also meet with us at this time leaving before the sermon for there own lessons in another room, but sometimes stay in for the whole service taking a very active part. Singing is led by the worship band or the pipe organ, the Independent Methodist (Red) Hymn book, Hymns and Songs of Fellowship and Spring Harvest books are used as is the over head projector. The church holds a Christian Copyright License. The church is licensed for weddings these can be arranged by contacting the church president or secretary. There is a well kept garden and lawns at the front with a tarmac path from Newton Road up to the front steps here there are hand rails and a ramp for easy access. A tree has recently been planted in memory of some of our members who have died in the past year. At the back of the church is a large private car park for the use of people attending church functions. The church owns a 14 seat mini bus.
