We welcome you to the Methodist Church in Burton Latimer
We are a small church with 18 members and have recently amalgamated with Central Methodist Church (Kettering) to form one church worshiping in two places. We belong to the East Mercia Circuit.
The web site gives details of our services and church activities. You are warmly invited to join with us in worship and at any of our activities.

It is with great joy that we have welcomed Rev. Noel Nhariswa to Burton Latimer Methodist Church. Previously serving in Zimbabwe, Noel and his family have relocated to share ministry for the usual five-year appointment. Noel was first stationed in 2004, and has served in several Circuits, as Superintendent, and Connexional Youth Coordinator. His previous appointment was as Principal at Chemhanza School. The school is owned and run by The Methodist Church for pupils between 6 and 18 years, has 2000+ pupils some of whom board, and is one of the most highly rated education establishments in Zimbabwe.

Reverend Andrew Farrington is our Circuit Superintendent who joined our circuit in September 2019. Andrew has over 20 years of experience in ministry following a successful banking career. Prior to joining us he held Superintendent posts in Wednesbury and the Staffordshire Moorlands Circuit based at Cheadle. He also works with the Connexional Grants Committee and has been the District Grants Officer at Chester and Stoke.
His hobby is acting and he has a passion for Shakespeare and Wagner but also enjoys many comedies and satirical shows — TV and Radio.
He is joined in Kettering by his wife Fiona who has been a Lay Pastoral Worker in Cheadle and both enjoy 'Messy Church' activities. His personal guiding verse is 'If anyone would follow me, they must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow me.' (Mark 8:34)

Our People
We are a small church but we are strong in the things we think important. People are committed to each other in the love and support they offer, not just in the spiritual things, but in many other ways. Our people are at different stages in their faith journey and are always willing to learn from each other. When new people join us they are usually surprised at the warmth of our welcome and the quality of our worship and fellowship. When we meet to discuss the life of our church we are open to try new ideas. There is a strong desire to move forward in our walk with Jesus.
