Soft Play Area Volunteers

About Whitefield Methodist Church
We are honoured to be God's people doing His work in the heart of Whitefield. The Church building is also used by many community groups in an area where such amenities are hard to find.

We hope to serve the people of Whitefield for a long time to come.
