Circuit

 

The Hull West Circuit is a diverse network which embraces 21 churches and one Methodist Home for the Aged spread over a large geographical area and representing a variety of situations - city, urban, suburban, small town, rural.

It seeks to consolidate and develop the work of the churches by encouraging partnership among and between them. It exists to make the love of God known and to share the Good News of the Gospel through the worship and activities of the individual churches and to hold those churches together in unity.

We aim to facilitate this process of partnership by utilising the particular gifts of our full-time Ministers as well as identifying and releasing the skills and resources available among our lay people.

About Us

Of course, we are not just about a geographical spread of churches. We consist of 1300 members, and around 6000 people of all ages who regularly join with us. We worship together, work together, care together in our mission to share God's love with the area we live in.You will find us involved in all manner of occupations and activities throughout the area. We are the Methodist 'Body of Christ' (Rom.12:5) in Hull West.

From Hell, Hull and Halifax...
Good Lord deliver us!

The words of the proverb are well known and the media has made plenty of copy from suggesting that these places either end of Yorkshire can be equated with, well, "the other place"!

But there are two things you should know...

  1. It has been suggested that the proverb refers to "Hull, Elland and Halifax" - the last places in the country to implement the sheep tax in 1549* - and
  2. It's not hell in Hull... In fact, as the locals put it, "It's never dull in Hull!" So, Go Get Wise!

The tightness of the Kingston Upon Hull City boundaries skew all its statistics - the pleasant suburbs which lower the crime figures and deprivation statistics and raise the educational attainment  results of other cites are mainly outside the city boundaries in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Kingston Upon Hull has been a seafaring city for over 700 years is and proud to be home to William Wilberforce - the the Make Poverty History campaign started near here, too.
Hull has an attractive city centre - currently being further redeveloped, vibrant cultural life, fantasic museums and galleries, The Deep the world's only Submarium and easy access to some of the most varied and beautiful countryside and coastal areas anywhere in Britain.

* 1549 was the same year as the first draft of Thomas Cranmer's Book of Common Prayer - hence the parodied prayer!
