Trinity Centre
Partnership
On Easter Day 2024 our two churches signed a historic agreement to come together as one church and became St Andrew’s with Trinity Church, Shifnal. We are Methodists and Anglicans working in partnership. We share a common vision “Reaching out together to share God’s amazing faith, hope and love.” Together we run two buildings, St Andrew’s Church and the Trinity Centre, supporting a whole host of community projects and offer a wide variety of contemporary and traditional worship. We are working towards becoming a full ecumenical partnership in the next few years.
The story of your relationship as a couple may have begun fairly recently or years ago. Either way, getting married is a whole new beginning for you, your family and others in your life.
