THE 'CIRCUIT' is the basic grouping of Churches in a specific area of the Methodist Church. The national Methodist Church website is here.

We also share some premises, and have one basic desire to serve the same Lord, as other denominations, including the Church of England (Bristol Diocese) and the United Reformed Church
The SouthWest Area Synod of the URC also has its own website)

The Christian Enquiry Agency provides more information about Jesus Christ and the Christian faith on hehalf of all the major Churches in Britain and Ireland

The Bristol District has a website too -Click here to open it
