Tipton Green Methodist Church

Tipton Green Methodist Church was opened in July 1978, formed by the merger of three churches (Park Lane, Bloomfield and Bell Street) - merging into one fellowship. However, there has been a Methodist presence on the current site since 1750 when the first 'preaching house' was built.  This was replaced by a chapel in 1786.

 

In 1809 Park Lane Methodist Church was built but fell into disrepair by 1975. A blue English Heritage plaque, indicating the site as one where John Wesley himself had preached, is testimony to God’s grace being worked out and lived in our community for over two centuries.  An amazing legacy!

 

In addition to regular Sunday morning worship (including Junior Church), other activities at Tipton Green include

•  Rhema Bible Fellowship - offering a varied programme of Biblical studies including a popular Lent course

•  Guides, Brownies and Rainbows - who meet in the church hall

•  Junior Fun Club - a weekly get together for young people offering games, crafts and other activities - ending with a short Christian message.

•  Lunch Club - which meets on the first Wednesday of each month.  This is a community outreach, offering light meals and drinks. It is popular with older people who have the opportunity to meet friends and reduce isolation.  

• 'Heart to Art' - a regular community focused meeting for those who wish to share friendship, in a relaxed atmosphere, with craft-based activities. 

As a society of Methodist Christians today, we offer people a warm welcome, free from judgment. We strive to create a space where all can explore who God is and what He has done for us in Jesus.  Worship, fellowship and Biblical truth are fundamental to our discipleship journey.

  

Within the Tipton area we have good relations with friends in other churches.  New Life Church meet in our premises on Sunday afternoons.  Within our local community, we have strong links with the Tipton Food Bank, which has operated since 2013. People from Tipton Green have been involved from its inception.

 

Our main aspiration for Tipton Green Church is growth and linking more closely with community and families.  Put simply, our vision is to make Jesus real to people in our vicinity, encouraging meaningful faith, and growing a love-centred fellowship for all ages.  You are welcome to join us and be part of the journey!
