Welcome to Kinver Methodist Church. We are a welcoming community with Jesus at the centre. We aim to worship Him together and draw others to love and follow Him.
Kinver is a large village in South Staffordshire, bordered by Shropshire, Worcestershire and the West Midlands conurbation. Over 7,000 people live in the village which is famous for the Holy Austin Rock Houses and Kinver Edge, both of which are owned by The National Trust.
The Church itself is located at the Potters Cross end of Kinver Village, within easy walking distance of the High Street and Kinver Edge.

Charitable Giving
During July we will be supporting the work of Action for Children (‘AfC’).
AfC’s ’s vision is that every child and young person in the UK has a safe and happy childhood, and the foundations they need to thrive. It does this by working closely with children and their families, from before they’re born until their twenties.
The work of AfC is split into three main areas:
- Best start in life: AfC knows how important the early years are: from parenting advice to education and early intervention, it focuses on improving children’s life chances.
- Good mental health: Everyone has ups and downs in life. AfC’s mental and emotional well-being experts work with families and schools to make sure children and parents feel able to cope with challenges when they arise.
- A safe and loving home: AfC makes sure more children feel part of a family that cares for them. It finds homes for those without, protect children who have been abused or neglected, and help ensure young carers don’t miss out on a childhood.
AfC makes a difference by:
- Supporting parents and families
- Supporting children and young people
- Campaigning for change
- Publishing vital research and influencing policy
- Fostering and adoption
The work of AfC changes lives and last year, AfC helped more than 387,000 children and their families in the UK.
You can support the work of AfC throughout July via the envelopes in church, or by taking an AfC ‘lantern’ collection box. You can also support this vital work at any time via the AfC website Action for Children
On Saturday, 23rd August we are holding a family-friendly sponsored canal walk to raise funds for AfC. Everyone is welcome to come along, for as much or as little of the walk as you want, with all money raised gong to support the work of AfC.
Donations are co-ordinated by Ali Saunders who will be delighted to chat with you about the work of AfC and give you more details of the AfC sponsored walk.
