Our Vision

The sense of mission conveyed here can be furthered through a statement of vision which expresses the kind of Circuit we seek to be:

The Middlesbrough and Eston Methodist Circuit seeks to be a connected community united in Christ to pursue our common mission. We are dependent on God's grace and dedicated to God's service. We seek to nurture Christian discipleship which can take root, develop and flourish. We seek to share our stories of God's love with others in the hope that they too will come to faith. We seek to show Christian love in action in the hope that the vulnerable will grow stronger and that the poor will be helped. We aim to be passionately committed to:

God centred worship which is biblically based, doctrinally sound,

culturally relevant and accessible to all

Underpinning our sense of mission with a strong commitment to

prayerfulness

Life-long learning as a fundamental element of our common vocation as

disciples of Jesus

Mutual support, encouragement and care

Showing God's love for society through practical acts of service

Sharing our faith with others - always with gentleness and respect

Helping others to grow in their Christian discipleship.

The Middlesbrough & Eston Circuit carries out its mission not only through its churches, but also through a number of projects, which are managed by Lay Workers – employees of the church who are not ministers. These are M.A.P, Middlesbrough (Methodist Asylum Project – formerly known as MEMCRASP), Youth Works, and Familes’ Outreach work.
