Junior Church

We have a thriving Junior Church at Quinton Methodist Church, in which our young people are encouraged to grow in faith and maturity.  Once a year each department in the Junior Church takes responsibility, with the minister, for leading our monthly Family Worship.  At other times, the members of Junior Church share in the liturgy at the beginning of worship, before they go to their own activities.

JAMS (Just Another Manic Sunday) for 13+ meet on the second and fourth Sundays of the month in the Parlour. Time is 7.00 pm to around 8.30 pm for fun, food and friendship. Further details are available via email from chaynes52@hotmail.com.
