About the Network
Belonging to the Network There are two levels of belonging:

A place on the official city centre list

  • This is applied for through your district.
  • This ring fences the resources of your project/church for use only in the city centre.
  • Brings exemption from certain connexional levies.
  • Requires five yearly reviews.

As a member of the City Centre Network, but not on the official list

Notes

  1. The network is currently consolidating all data concerning churches, projects and people into a single database. The list given here of Churches or Projects has been derived from the current version of this new database. If there are any errors or omissions please send the changes to web editor.
  2. The appearance of a church or project in this list only indicates that someone involved has indicated that they have an interest in the Methodist City Centre Network. Where it is known that a church or project has been 'approved' in accordance with current procedures (SO 440) an asterisk (*) appears against its circuit reference.
  3. Where the circuit number is given as 0 (for example, 23/0) this indicates that the project is a District Project.

If you wish to contact anyone in this list and cannot find their contact information in the Methodist Directory then please e-mail the web editor who will be pleased to forward your message using the e-mail address in the Network database.
