THE Methodist churches have a rich history in the iLembe District.
Many of the 15 churches have been established for many years, and a few news ones have been established more recently.
Trinity Methodist Church, Stanger celebrated its centenary in 2016 and has offered hope and peace to those who have entered through its doors.
These 15 churches are collectively serviced by four ministers; Rev Michael Bishop, Rev Vusi Radebe, Rev Kym Bishop, and Rev Michael Vorster.
The church’s desire is to serve the wider community and members in a way that reflects the “deep-seated God values of love, justice, service and peace”.
The Methodist church invites you and your family to be part of this through their church fete, being held on December 1 from 7am to 3pm at Trinity Methodist Church, 115 Hullett Street, Stanger CBD.
