South Norwood Methodist Church exists for the following purposes:
To glorify God: by regularly offering prayer to him at services of public worship (which may include the sacrament of Holy Communion), and by encouraging individual worship, through his Son Jesus Christ, according to the beliefs and standards of the Methodist tradition.
To encourage all persons who confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour (and accept the obligation to serve him in the life of the Church and the world) to become, if they wish, full members of the Methodist Church, whilst rejoicing in the diversity of different traditions.
To encourage a regular study of the Holy Scriptures and other sources of information, both as individuals and as groups.
To maintain the common life of worship and service in this neighbourhood and to encourage participation in the activities of Christians Together in South Norwood and Churches Together in the Borough of Croydon.
To offer fellowship, comfort and care to all persons in need and, to assist in this work, to maintain a register of all members of this Church and all persons who have expressed an interest in it.
To encourage responsible giving for the continuing work of the Church, both by donation of monetary gifts and by giving of time and ability.
To encourage members in their individual commitment to work out their faith in daily life, by offering personal service to the community, the Christian use of resources and their support of the Church in its total world mission. (Adopted 16.7.95) |
In August 2000 the church participated in the 'Share Jesus' mission programme. This picture shows members of the church with the visiting mission team.
