PRESTON RIBBLE METHODIST CIRCUIT

The Preston Ribble Circuit enabled worship across thirteen places of worship with six ordained Ministers, four lay workers and twenty eight lay preachers. In addition significant social care was exercised through programmes by the churches. The Circuit supports the churches in their mission, ministry and worship. The Circuit now follows our "Following Jesus Loving Communities" policy document.
