Coming events
The Sheffield Methodist Circuit was formed in 2013, bringing together eight former circuits, and covers the city of Sheffield with a rural part of Barnsley Metropolitan District in the north and parts of North-East Derbyshire in the south.
The Circuit’s geography is notably varied, encompassing dense inner-urban neighbourhoods, large post-war housing estates, suburban districts and villages and across the Derbyshire border. This wide footprint places the Circuit within communities that reflect Sheffield’s significant social contrasts, including areas of marked deprivation alongside comparatively affluent neighbourhoods, and a population that is ethnically and culturally diverse. Within its own life, the Circuit includes congregations that describe themselves as diverse. A distinctive feature of the Circuit is its strong commitment to ecumenical working: several churches operate as formal Local Ecumenical Partnerships (LEP) with Anglican, Baptist and United Reformed partners.
Across the Circuit there are approximately 2,000 Methodist members and 38 active churches, including 10 LEP’s.
