A Methodist Circuit is a family of churches which work together, sharing in mission and service in a particular area. Our Circuit consists of eight churches spread over the Somerset / Dorset border, served by two ministers,  and a group of Local Preachers. The Circuit is led by the Superintendent Minister with the other  minister, a student minister, a small team of Circuit Stewards and three Lay Employees. The Circuit is governed by the Circuit Meeting which meets twice a year. The Ministers and Local Preachers meet quarterly and the Leadership Team meets every month to consider and direct the work of God in our area.

Each church has a Minister assigned to it, and has its own Church Council and teams of Stewards, Worship Leaders and officers.
