Introduction

Welcome to the website of the South West Cumbria Methodist Circuit (SWECC) and the Furness United Reformed Church Pastorate.  Together the 2 denominations have 13 churches in the Furness Peninsula and spread round the Duddon Estuary in South Cumbria stretching from Millom on the western side of this tidal system, round through Broughton, Kirkby, Askam, Dalton and Barrow before ending nearly 30 miles away on the Island of Walney and the Church at Vickerstown.

The Churches are supported by 1 full time Methodist ministers, a deacon, a non-stipendary minister and 2 full time ministers and one non-stipendary minister from  the United Reformed Church (URC) pastorate.

The Methodist Church Circuit is one of 16 within the Methodist District of Cumbria and the URC churches belong to the Cumbrian District of the United Reformed Church North Western Synod

Please take a look at the different churches in the circuit using the links on the left hand side of the page.  There is a map of the general area of South Cumbria showing the location of each church. The page for each church gives directions, details about church services and information about events that are going on. There are also links to the current and past newsletters, photographs of past events, and a short History of the Methodist Circuit.
