What is a Circuit?

This sheet is designed to help church leaders and members understand how we function as a family of Methodist churches, sharing our people and resources.

It explains what a Circuit is and how it works, why our shared life together matters, how we handle money, and how staffing and wider resourcing are supported through the share that each church contributes. Note that slight change. From now on, we will not speak of “assessment”, but instead use the word 'share' because we share our resources and the financial costs of our mission together. It also explains the role of the District and the wider Methodist Church in supporting us.

Most importantly, it outlines our shared vision. If you have not noticed it before, our mission statement appears at the bottom of my emails and at the top of the document
