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
Traidcraft
Traidcraft aims to fight poverty through trade, helping people in developing countries to transform their lives. It was established in 1979 as a Christian response to poverty and is the UK’s leading fair trade organisation. At Kinver Methodist Church we support this organisation and products can be bought & ordered after our Sunday morning services each week.
“For the whole law can be summed up in this one command love your neighbour as yourself” – Galatians 5:14
Monthly Collections
As part of our Christian ministry we are committed to supporting the work of a different charitable organisation each month.
During November we will be supporting the work of Medic Malawi.
Medic Malawi is a small charity funding a hospital in Mtunthama, rural Malawi. The hospital opened in 2001, together with a clinic for feeding the malnourished and an orphanage for 70 children. This charity is special because every penny raised goes to Malawi – there are no UK administration costs or salaries.
Medic Malawi seeks to involve supporters and volunteers – and especially teenagers – in the actions of the charity, experiencing Africa for themselves and sharing time with the people in Mtunthama. It is focused on one district, which offers continuity, regular contact and transparency. The foundations of its work are deep: this is a project which has gradually been built with the local community.
The community of Mtunthama is involved at every stage – there is constant self help. There is real progress and achievement, but there is still so much need.
You can support Medic Malawi throughout November, using the envelopes available in church or at anytime by emailing: director@medicmalawi.org.
