Banbridge Independent Methodist Church

Public benefits

As a Church offering pastoral care through home visitation and church meetings, we improve the standard of individual lives and family life. This is achieved by seeing unstable marriages, seperated couples being re-united by counselling and the love of Christ. Alcoholics and drug addicts being delivered from harmful drink and drugs and being able

to live a healthy lifestyle without any addictions. Also people with disabilities being able to cope with life and for them to have hope. In cases of bereavement we bring comfort, support and peace to troubled hearts. Our work is to all sections for the community. Our congregation members testify and confirm that we are a loving, caring church, offering pastoral loves and care to all and testimonials and records within also confirm this. With all our work, meetings, services and outreaches there is no harm that can be imposed on any person or persons and there is absolutely no potential for harm. We also adhere to all Child Protection Policy and rules. The main beneficiaries of our pastoral care and support are within all sections of our community, from children, teenagers, elderly, sick, those in hospitals, homes, young mothers. This is the general public in Banbridge and County Down areas. All our services are open to all members of the general public. The private benefit of everything that we do is to see individuals from the general public being trianed and taught to be Youth leaders, Sunday school teachers, parent and toddler group leaders. Individuals learning to work together within a group or team. Teenagers learning to cope with the responsibility of care and support to others through the love of Christ. Some individuals progressing to be Pastors, missionaries or aid workers to help others.
