Trinity Methodist Church
is one of the 4 'Island' Churches. It is
in a prominent position in the
heart of the Southsea
district of Portsea Island and
ministers to a busy business &
residential population. Being close
to the seafront, it is within easy reach for the holidaying visitors.
The traditionally well
kept church retains all the character of an early 20th century place of worship,
offering peace & tranquillity to visitors & worshipers alike. Its
charm & ambiance makes it a perfect setting for Marriages & Christenings.
All are welcome to join us.
We have a good size multi racial
congregation at our services, made up of people from all over the City of
Portsmouth & including many visitors & holidaymakers. Trinity has a long
standing tradition of friendship & offers a welcome to all who wish to worship
with us.
