Trinant


Welcome to Trinant Methodist Church

We gather for worship every Sunday at 6pm. See the bottom of this page for all our regular activities. All are warmly welcomed.

“110 Years in Trinant”

Great Britain was founded more than anything else on the principles of the Christian Faith and the Christian Bible. This is, legally, a Christian country. In more recent years – and under successive Governments – the drive to become all things to all people has eaten away at those important principles and left us with no clear choices. Have we all drifted into thinking that nothing matters now?

Like the vast majority of people questioned, do you believe that Sunday School helped to teach us right from wrong and gave us enough insight to make up our own minds about religion when older? Will you give your children that same opportunity?

Did you once attend Church or Chapel regularly? Do you remember what it was that caused you to stop coming? Will you reconsider now? You can be sure of a warm welcome!

On Sunday, 17th. April we are holding our 110th. anniversary service. A very popular former minister, Rev. Malcolm Guest, will lead us in worship. Will you join our celebration?

On the following Sunday, 24th. April – Easter Day – we shall recall the resurrection of Jesus with Holy Communion led by Rev. Gareth Edwards. We should love you to join us on this, the most important day in the Christian calendar.

Our History

We celebrate a long history serving the local community.

From Clive Daniels' 'Trinant in Photographs, Vol.1', published by Old Bakehouse (1995):

'Methodists first met for worship in Trinant in the Board Schools in 1894. Not satisfied for long with this arrangement local inhabitants took it upon themselves to build their own church. A local lady provided the site and as much stone from her land that might be needed.
Men and women alike toiled relentlessly to build this chapel.. A horse was purchased from some travelling gypsies, a cart and harness provided by a local farmer and the workers scoured the countryside in search of materials. The church was eventually completed in 1901 at a cost of £764 and could house a congregation of 200 souls.
A new extension to the Wesleyan Chapel was completed in 1983.'

We are proud of our history and look forward to the future as we strive to serve the present and future generations.
