Ainsdale Methodist Church is a warm, friendly, caring Church at the heart of the Ainsdale Community. Our mission statement is to share locally and globally in the whole Church’s purpose of worshipping God and caring for people. We aim to do this through our varied programme of worship, study and fellowship activities and our support of Aindasle Lunch and Leisure.

Zest For Life

Bible study

Bible study is about learning what the most enduring book in the world has to say about you and how you live your life. This is enhanced by interaction with others on a similar quest.

You don’t have to be a Christian to learn more about how this book has shaped our world.

Mondays 7pm

 

Foodbank 

Thursdays 1pm to 3pm

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.

IMPACT YOUTH

Impact Youth is a community youth project we help to facilitate in the Ainsdale area. Engagement of young people with church through traditional Sunday services and fellowship groups is very sparse (<5%). However, the Churches Together in Ainsdale have seen this as a creative opportunity. They partner together to provide something alternative, which aims to take the ethos and success of our secondary school, Safe Spaces and shine this same light into the local community through a wonderful church partnership.

As with our lunchtime sessions in secondary school, we aim to create a safe space for the young people attending Impact to explore the big issues of life and faith.

Currently meeting in the cafe/lounge and sports hall at Ainsdale Methodist Church, we transform the space once a week into a youth venue with big screens, games consoles, lights, music, chill-out space and a variety of sports.

As with lunchtimes, we provide an opportunity for young people to rate their mental health and wellbeing with our traffic light system as they arrive.
