Kessingland Methodist Church
This church’s outstanding feature is its warm, friendly atmosphere. It is an open, welcoming Church offering modern interactive worship for all ages. There is a mixed age range and frequent all-age-worship services, always with enthusiastic hymn-singing. There are now only a few children who attend regularly, but all who come are made very welcome
The church has recently been registered to conduct same sex marriages. Please contact Deacon Linda Kinchenton for further information.
The church actively supports a mission-school and orphanage in Borneo, also a schoolgirl in Uganda. Money is raised regularly for Christian Aid, Action for Children and a local charity E A C H, amongst other causes.
