The church building was erected during 1870 and 1871 as a Christian Mission and dedicated by William Booth in 1871. William Booth is better known as General Booth of the Salvation Army, which he later founded. His wife, Catherine, laid the foundation stone on Thursday, July 6th, 1871.

The church became a United Methodist Chapel in 1907 and on the occasion of the Methodist Union in 1932 three branches of the Methodist Church, the Wesleyan, the Primitive and the United joined to become one church denomination.

In 1958 the Church was extensively renovated. In 1979 a hall and kitchen were added and this was fully modernised in 2013. The hall is now a popular venue for many church and village activities.

Ninfield News

The Book Exchange Café in September was a great success & will be open again on Friday 5th October. This is a new idea for the village when you can enjoy refreshments, browse, & exchange books. 
Then another new initiative on Tuesday 23rd October at 7.00pm. This is Talking Point 
& will feature a series of discussion groups to look at Topical News issues from a Christian perspective. Reverend Derek Brice will lead the group discussion and on above date we will address the issue of ‘Debt’. Elaine Lee, a specialist debt adviser, is also coming along to share her experience. Should be interesting. 
We look forward to seeing you at Ninfield Methodist Church – come along if you can!
