Barnsley is a thriving market town with a lively shopping centre. The Circuit is one of the biggest Circuits in the country with over 1, 020 members, 30 churches and a staff of seven ministers, one Deacon and four lay workers. We therefore supply a presence in not only the town but in many of the ex-pit villages around the Borough.

About Us
read moreThe vision of the Barnsley Methodist Circuit is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ by encouraging, resourcing and enabling the people and churches of the Circuit to serve their communities and the wider world. The Barnsley Methodist Circuit has 26 churches situated throughout most of the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley. The town can trace its roots through many different industries and is particularly well known for its links to coal mining. Many of our churches are situated in the former pit villages where communities have had to re-define themselves following the closure of 'their' pit.
