Methodist Circuit
Welcome to the Telford Circuit of the Methodist Church
The Circuit consists of sixteen churches, large and small, scattered around Shropshire. We are also responsible for John Fletcher of Madeley Methodist/Church of England Primary School. Our churches are very different in size and location; some are in market towns, some are in villages, and others are in the new town of Telford, but we are united in our desire to serve God and serve our communities.

Look at our new pages outlining our Circuit Mission Priorities and our Circuit Envirnmental Commitments.
Both of these documents were agreed at the Circuit Meeting in March 2025.
Our Circuit is steeped in history – industrial history, with Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution at our centre, and Methodist history, because our founder, John Wesley was a frequent visitor to the area in the eighteenth century. He often came to visit Rev John Fletcher, Vicar of Madeley and an early Methodist. But we are also forward-looking, seeking to show that the gospel is relevant in the 21st century and seeking new ways to share the good news of Jesus Christ in our part of the world.
We are part of the Wolverhampton and Shrewsbury Methodist District. We have three Local Ecumenical Partnerships in the Circuit, one with the Church of England and two with the United Reformed Church. We also have a new Covenanted relationship with the Church of England in Shifnal.
We are also proud to have a Methodist/Church of England school in our Circuit. We support the John Fletcher of Madeley Primary School by providing a Schools Worker and the Circuit Superintendent is the current Chair of Governors.
