About the organisation

The Circuit is the way the ten separate Methodist Churches in the Bromsgrove and Redditch area work together as a team. The ten Churches reach from Catshill in the north to Alcester in the south. Three of the churches are united congregations (two with the Church of England and one with the United Reformed Church).

There are around six hundred members of the ten churches, plus more who attend worship or take part in some aspects of the life of the churches.

What is a Christian Church? Each congregation is a group of people gathered together around the memory of, teaching, purposes, presence and power of God as we believe it is particularly revealed to us through the words and life of Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus brings and is Good News which is meant to be shared!

Whilst each congregation is encouraged to be its unique self, there is a blessing in unity. We build this by coming together, sharing resources and supporting one another.
