Mission Statement

In partnership with others wherever possible, the Methodist Church (Middlesbrough and Eston Methodist Circuit) will concentrate its prayers, resources, imagination and commitments as its priority:

To proclaim and affirm its conviction of God’s love in Christ, for us and for all the world; and renew confidence in God’s presence and action in the world and in the Church.

As far as possible, future work has been identified against the Methodist Church priorities.

Underpinning everything we do with God-centred worship and prayer

Supporting community development and action for justice, especially among the most deprived and poor – in Britain and world-wide

Developing confidence in evangelism and in the capacity to speak of God and faith in ways that make sense to all involved

Encouraging fresh ways of being Church

Nurturing a culture in the Church which is people – centred and flexible
