Tontine

 

Tontine Methodist Church is a small friendly fellowship with a current membership of 38. It was established as a Church in 1859 in the United Methodist tradition. Perhaps you're wondering what "Tontine" means as most names derive from some event in the past. Well it literally means "Village on the boundary". 

The village of Tontine is on the boundary of Greater Manchester and West Lancashire Councils. We have one Sunday service at 11.00am, mid week communions on the second Wednesday of each month and a Ladies Guild on the second Tuesday of the month. The Chapel is a lovely sanctuary, where one can feel especially close to God and be made most welcome. Please go to the circuit plan page for more information.

We are looking to grow and to serve God in this community and beyond as our Mission statement reads:

We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, recognise that we are called to share in God's mission of love to the world. We value our Methodist heritage and welcome the opportunity to co-operate with other churches in our circuit and community.

Our object is growth:

Growth as individuals in our relationship with God

Growth in the richness of sharing together in the life of the Church

Growth through leading others to Christ.

 

Activities

On the 2nd Tuesday of every month the Ladies Guild meet at 7.30pm. This takes many different forms, and there are always interesting speakers who speak on a wide range of topics .

On the 2nd Wednesday of every month there is a service of Holy Communion at 11.am.

Every alternate Wednesday evening at 7.30pm there is sequence dancing in the hall.

There are a number of other ad hoc activities at Tontine and these can be found via the forthcoming events page.  

We are a relatively small but warm and friendly fellowship, our worship services are lively but relevant to today's world.
