A Statement of Our Purpose ‘As a group of churches, the Hull West Methodist Circuit celebrates its place in the Church of Christ. It exists to make the love of God known, to share the Good News of Jesus and to explore the nature of Christian discipleship. This finds its focus in the worship, discipling and outreach activities of the individual churches, which the circuit holds together in unity. Our diverse Circuit is spread over a large geographical area and encompasses a variety of situations - city, urban, suburban, small town and rural. It embraces 20 churches, several chaplaincies and specifically targeted community outreach projects. As a circuit we coordinate and develop this work by encouraging partnership among the churches within the circuit and with other local denominations, and by developing relationships with faith groups and secular organisations. We aim to support each church in identifying and developing the form of its mission in relation to local circumstances. As a circuit we value the gifts that every member contributes to our combined mission. This means that our work is resourced by identifying and harnessing the skills of all members of the circuit, whether they are in the staff team - either ordained or lay - or part of a local congregation. |
