Church Project extended until 2021

As the health crisis has seen the cancellation of many of our events, not least the flagship Quinton Art Festival that was due to take place in May, it has been decided to extend the current Annual Church Project fund-raising period by an extra year until autumn 2021.

In 2019 two organisations were selected to benefit from our activities: Helping Hands of Birmingham, who bring care to the homeless on the streets of Birmingham and MotherShip, a community arts company that seeks to connect communities through culture and creativity.

Eco-Church Bronze Award achieved

January 2020

It's official: the plaque is in place!

Quinton Methodist Church has achieved the Bronze Eco Church Award. We are now working hard towards the Silver Award.

The Eco Church initiative considers how we, as a church, care for God’s earth in various areas of life and work. These include worship and teaching, the management of Church buildings and land, community and global engagement, and lifestyle choices.

Periodic surveys of how the church is caring for God’s Earth are conducted and then points awarded. Through a process of continuous improvement it is possible to work towards Bronze and Silver Awards with the ultimate goal being a Gold Award.
