As a District, as circuits, and as churches, we seek to embrace ‘Our Calling’ and the Priorities of the Methodist Church, and through the District we shall:
- provide resources for God’s work and mission;
- initiate and support new, ground-breaking mission and ministry initiatives;
- create and maintain a dynamic programme of learning and development in ministry;
- promote opportunities for growth in Christian discipleship, including faith sharing;
- encourage ecumenical and interfaith relationships;
- nurture prayer, spirituality and the release of gifts and skills in the service of Christ;
- equip and enable people to engage with the issues of justice, equality, peace and the environment;
- inspire and enable information sharing and good practice, to ensure the existence of appropriate, flexible structures, and clear communication channels;
- emphasise the need to be imaginative and innovative in the use of personnel and property.
