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 - July 2019

We are thrilled to have received a gift/donation of £1000 from The Ninfield Flower Group following the most successful Flower Festival weekend at our two Churches in Ninfield, in May. All amazing and a real celebration of ‘The Beauty of the Earth’.

The second piece of good news is that we have new chairs for our Church being delivered in July. We have selected a blue colour scheme and this should look really good and make our seating a lot more comfortable!

Thirdly, in addition to our usual monthly Book Exchange café we have a Children’s Book café taking place on July 12th. Already we have loads of children’s books and DVDs so it should be a good event. The timing enables families to pop in after collecting young people from the village school.

Welcome back to Tricia – it was good to share a communion service with you in June and a further date is planned for July (see below) plus a Messy Church.

Our Café style worship, with breakfast, continues on the first Sunday monthly.

Come let us sing of a wonderful love, tender and true Wonderful love, dwells in the heart of the Father above.
