Welcome to the Trinity Methodist Church Website
We hope that you will find useful information in the following pages. On this website you will find the history of the church, a statement of our vision and priorities for the future and details of activities which take place on our premises.
Our congregation is a friendly and caring group of people, interested in local, national and international issues. We believe that we can make a worthwhile contribution by working within the church and at the heart of our community and welcome new partnerships and relationships. We would love to see you in worship or at one of our community events.
We are within a short walk of the seafront.
