Our Team
What a Team!
Our Circuit strives to bring the Good News of Christ to our communities, through its outreach and the outreach of our churches. We are a team of dedicated Ministerial Staff, Lay Staff, the Circuit Leadership Team (CLT) and the Circuit Meeting Representatives. You can contact any of us via the Circuit Office.

Ministerial Staff
Our Circuit has three Ministers, led by the Superintendent Minister. They have Circuit responsibilities as well as pastoral oversight of several of our churches.
Lay Staff
Our Circuit is supported by a team of three employed lay staff, each bringing different areas of expertise.
Circuit Leadership Team
The day-to-day running of the Circuit is the responsibility of the Circuit Leadership Team (CLT). All of the lay members of our CLT are Circuit Stewards, appointed by the Circuit Meeting, and some also have additional Circuit responsibilities. Our Ministers are also members of the CLT.
The CLT also meet in Subgroups focusing on these particular areas of work:
-
Mission and Outreach
-
Stationing and Ministers’ Wellbeing
-
Finance, Property and Governance
These Subgroups meet in addition to the full CLT meetings and then report back to it.
The full CLT meets every two months on average and then ultimately reports to the Circuit Meeting. The Circuit Meeting, which includes the representatives from all of our churches, is is the governing body of our Circuit.
