CHORLEY AND LEYLAND METHODIST CIRCUIT

The Chorley & Leyland Circuit organises and resources ministers and local preachers to lead public worship open to all without charge. This takes place at each of the 11 Methodist Churches, including the one Local Ecumenical Partnership. All churches are encouraged to engage with the wider community, offering premises where appropriate. Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit.
