WelcomeWelcome to the Bristol & South Gloucestershire Methodist Circuit. We are a friendly family of 40 churches and two Methodist / Anglican schools and outreach and social projects serving communities across Bristol and South Gloucestershire with a membership that spans all ages. We are part of the wider Methodist Church in Britain and working with local churches to become an Eco-Circuit. Our 2000 members come from many different countries and backgrounds and we aim to help everyone feel at home. The Circuit oversees, supports and resources local churches in living out the Calling of the Methodist Church in the communities in which they serve through the 'Our Calling Groups' : Worship - to increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love Learning and Caring - to help people to learn and grow as Christians, through mutual care and support Service - to be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice Evangelism - to make more followers of Jesus Christ The Circuit Office is open Mondays to Thursdays, 10.00 until 4.00.

Those worshipping and attending activities on our premises continue to live with different levels of vulnerability and anxiety. It is still appropriate for churches to stress the importance of keeping ourselves and others free from infection, this is part of our commitment to ‘love one another.’ Some people still choose to wear face masks. It is important to continue to have hand sanitizer available and posters which promote good levels of hygiene. The most important point to stress is that people do not attend our buildings if they have COVID like symptoms or have had a positive lateral flow test. Thank you for your continued co-operation and commitment. Marriage and Relationships Following the Conference decision to allow Methodist churches the option to hold same-sex marriages in our buildings, Conference has produced some resources to help local churches and Ministers explore these issues.
