METHODIST CHURCH BRAMPTON in the
NORTH CUMBRIA METHODIST CIRCUIT
Welcome to the web site of Borders Methodist Church, in Brampton, 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?
