THE METHODIST CENTRE,
Midland Road, Bristol

After the closure of the Methodist Central Hall in Old Market many years ago, there were those who maintained the witness and caring ministry in the city by opening the Methodist Centre, with a charity shop front, but a ministry exercised to many needy people in the premises. The Manager is Ian Webb, helped by a team of volunteers from around the city, many from the churches in our Circuit.

All ministries are backed up by Training. The newsletter from the District Training and Development Officer is available HERE
