    NORTH CUMBRIA METHODIST                              CIRCUIT

Welcome to the web site of Brampton Methodist Church, in the North Cumbria Methodist Circuit. The North Cumbria Circuit was formed in 2014 by the merger of the Brampton Methodist Circuit and the Carlisle Methodist Circuit. We are a community based church located in the centre of the market town. Our aim is to show God’s love for all - in our church life, our worship and witness. We work closely with the other churches in our town and local area through Brampton Churches and our local Mission Community. The Green Door Centre (opposite the church) is an ecumenical youth project working across all areas in Brampton.We are a family friendly church, dementia aware and with disabled access throughout.  If you are new to the area, on holiday, wanting to return to church or with questions why not join us?

 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk  through the darkest valley, I fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff - they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.      Psalm 23

Lead us, Lord, When we lose sight of you.   Lead us, good Lord, through darkness to your light.  

Lead us through disappointment and failure to a place of new calling.
