Why Are We Here? Our Calling

The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission.

It does this through:

Worship
The Church exists to increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love

Learning and Caring
The Church exists to help people to grow and learn as Christians, through mutual support and care

Service
The Church exists to be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice

Evangelism
The Church exists to make more followers of Jesus Christ

Our Circuit’s Mission
The Circuit’s mission is to be a powerful spiritual influence in the community and a visible expression of God’s inclusive love. We aim to achieve this by encouraging, through the churches in our Circuit, the worship, social, and outreach activities that currently exist; seeking new ways to extend to others the fellowship of the Church family; and through these to develop the life of the Circuit and its churches.

 

Our Circuit exists to
Increase awareness of God’s presence and to celebrate God’s love;
Help people to learn and grow as Christians, through mutual support and care;
Be good to people in need and challenge injustice.
