Sunday Services: 10:30 am

Trinity Methodist Church was completed in 1926, and a schoolroom added some 35 years later. The schoolroom and the rest of the community area were completely revamped from 2001. As well as a light and airy chapel, we now have a suite of warm and comfortable meeting rooms which are used extensively by local groups and visitors.

Our influence on the village life of Shenstone is manifested in significant ways: We have developed a very healthy relationship with the local parish church of St John the Baptist; with a schedule of regular joint events through the year at both locations, and a substantial contribution to the biennial village festival. Our musicians and singers play a vital role in combined services. We promote regular events – concerts and recitals open to all.The church occupies a corner site at a major entrance point to the village. We provide a pleasantly welcoming face to arrivals from the rail link and from the western approach. We have invested resources to creating a pleasant environment from the church site, installing a sensory garden and a walkway through the grounds.

A regular maintenance and improvement programme continues with help from a community payback team.The community rooms are well used by local and visiting groups, catering for all ages. With its easy access by road and rail, the church and community rooms create a versatile and flexible ‘away-day’ location.

Services commence at 10.30am every Sunday; visitors and new members will find a genuine and warm welcome.
