Public Beneft

Trinity Methodist Church, Clitheroe has the following mission statement:

‘By encouraging each other to grow in faith and make new disciples of Jesus Christ, we seek to re-vitalise our Christian witness in the Ribble Valley’.

To encourage its continued growth, the church – i.e. the body of people who meet regularly to worship and grow in faith so that they can ensure that their relationship with God is reflected in their everyday lives – continues to provide a base for many additional activities to the Sunday services.

Trinity Church, Clitheroe, provides a place for the public to use for weddings, baptisms and funerals as well as many other events as necessary. The church continues to grow with adults and children asking to become members. The church is open to the public and we make extra effort to invite the general public for the main Christian services such as Easter, Harvest and over Christmas. We see new faces at these services and often a few of these will continue to come throughout the year. The church was recently renovated which included glass front doors to make the church more welcoming and open to the general public. The back rooms have been renovated recently to provide room hire for the community in all areas, these rooms have been made suitable for many types of groups after extensive research of what was needed in the area.

The church at Trinity is made up of people who love Jesus. The ages of our congregation ranges from 3 to 93 and there is a real sense that we are a family. At the core of what we do is worship that seeks a balance between contemporary and traditional forms. Clear biblical preaching that is relevant to people's everyday lives is a vital element of who and what we are. Most of our services are enhanced and enriched by the use of modern technology, using both visual and audio presentations to illustrate and present different aspects of worship.

In our services we seek to present the Gospel in clear and engaging ways with room to reflect, praise, worship, laugh and sing as we engage with the living God.

There are many social activities held at the church such as:

Pizza The Action – an opportunity for teenagers in the area to come for a fun evening with organised game and a takeaway, this is also open to people who do not attend the church.

Treasure Seekers is the junior church with children from babies to teenagers meeting on a Sunday morning to enjoy age appropriate activities and time to share together and learn about Bible teaching and faith. The church has received the accolade of being ‘A Child Friendly Church’.

Summer Holiday Club is run annually and is open to all children, whether affiliated with the church or not. Such is its popularity that the adult/child ratio is almost one-toone with volunteers keen to get involved and ensure the 50 children who attend spend an enjoyable time of crafts, Bible stories, games and snacks. The holiday club is free to attend, although some families offer a donation but this is not asked for.

Trinity Tots is a toddler group run weekly during term time and offers a 2hr 15 minute session of crafts, toys, games, songs, snacks and free play, as well as a brew for the parents. This is attended by over 25 children at each session and is run by volunteers. It is open to the general public and the majority of the users do not attend the church on a Sunday.
