METHODIST CHURCH, BRAMPTON                                                                                                 in the

    NORTH CUMBRIA METHODIST                              CIRCUIT

Welcome to the website of Borders Methodist Church in Brampton.

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 are also part of the wider Cumbria Methodist Circuit that covers the whole county. The new Cumbria Circuit was formed in September 2025.

We work closely with the other churches in our town and local area through Churches Together in Brampton,  and our local Three Rivers 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?.      

Minister: Rev. Tokunbo Asogbon              Tel: 016977 2452

We thank you, Lord, for seeking us when we lose our way.

We praise you for restoring us when we feel ashamed and worthless.

Your love lets us know that we are enough.

We raise our praises to the One who embraces and enfolds us in welcome, who reminds us of our worth

and restores us to a proper sense of ourselves, who we are and how we should live.     Amen
