Vision and Values

Our vision statement: "Birmingham Methodist Circuit aspires to be a welcoming Christian family with inspiring worship, radical compassion and social justice at its heart. In this way and following in our Methodist tradition, we aim to share in the transformation of life made possible through God's love."

As members of the Birmingham Methodist Circuit, we have agreed on the following five priorities for the meaningful sharing of our God-given resources:

Transforming Life – We aim to live in such a way as to bring about positive change in our own lives and the lives of others, to share God's love and to learn and grow as followers of Jesus both individually and in community.

Inspiring Worship – We aim to offer worship across the circuit which glorifies God, is inviting to all, enriches faith and inspires us to respond.

Radical Compassion – We aim to develop and practise a radical compassion which is welcoming, inclusive, safe and empowering.

Social Justice – We aim to speak out and take action against injustice in all its forms.

A Methodist Perspective – Working together with our ecumenical partners and many others, we aim to uphold the values and principles which arise from our Methodist heritage, including being sustainable, ethical, collaborative and connected to Methodists across our nation and around the world.
