The Circuit is made up of around 1,000 Methodist Christians who worship in fifteen churches in this part of Hampshire and Wiltshire. We have worshipping communities in farming areas, in towns and cities and on the edge of the port city of Southampton. Our Circuit is in the Southampton Methodist District.

We include the ancient cathedral city of Winchester, the expanding community of Eastleigh, the market town of Romsey, famous as the home of Lord Louis Mountbatten, and a section of the New Forest National Park. We are very concerned about the environment globally and are close to an Eco Circuit Bronze Award.

We are enhancing our mission by adding local pastors to the ministerial team. Ministers will be freed to develop new activities in the areas of new build and of social need.
