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?

Church Notices for December 2024
Church email address:
bramptonmethodists@gmail.com
Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2.4-7
