The trustees are committed to reaching out to as
many people as possible in the Circuit’s
geographical area through regular worship at the
sixteen member churches, which provide
pastoral care and community activities as part of
their outreach and also through regular children’s
and family activities.
To take a lead on the above activities funding is
provided to allow for the following :-
Four full time ministers, two of whom fulfil the role
of Joint Circuit Superintendents
one full time deacon
All of their legitimate expenses are covered.
Within the circuit there are also eleven non-
stipendiary supernumerary ministers, plus a part
time URC minister.
The work of the ministers is supported by four
voluntary lay pastors in the following areas:-
Children & Young People, Youth Emmaus and
Learning & Caring.
There is a team of local preachers from across
the churches in the circuit, who contribute to
weekly worship services| |||The circuit also employs a full time
Communications & Compliance Manager

regular acts of worship, open to all, can take

benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|▪
The circuit was formed in September
2020 as a result of the merger of the
former Ashton-under-Lyne, Glossop and
Hyde & Denton Circuits to form the
Glossop & Tameside Circuit. It was felt
that the three circuits working together to
support each other would be mutually
beneficial and enable them to be better
equipped for the future.
▪
An updated Circuit Safeguarding Policy
was approved to ensure the correct
proceedings were in place and adhered
to.
▪
COVID-19 impacted on many activities
that had been planned. Throughout the
pandemic the circuit, through its
churches, continually sought to make the
most of the opportunities that arose.
Support was given both the churches
own congregations as well as the wider
community. There was a strong
recognition and an awareness for the
need not just for providing spiritual
support, but also support for people’s
mental welfare.
▪
Although its churches were closed during
lockdowns, the circuit responded
positively to the ‘new norm’, with zoom
meetings becoming one of the main
ways in which contact could be
maintained, as well as contact by email.
Online services and Bible study groups
were held as well as other meetings.
▪
Work with children and families
continued: participation in assemblies
took place online as well as outside
activities when permitted, Youth work
and Sunday children's groups continued
on zoom.
▪
During Lent craft bags were distributed to
150 children
▪
Churches took up other initiatives - for
example delivering afternoon teas to
people when activities like this couldn’t
happen on church premises.
▪
Pastoral contact was maintained through
newsletters as well as additional phone
calls to members of the church
communities. Weekly services, Worship
notes and reflections were produced and
were hand delivered or sent through the
post to those who couldn’t access
emails. All these initiatives were well
received.
▪
Overall the circuit adapted well to new
ways of working and communicating with
the communities it serves.
▪
Coping with, and being a worshipping
community, throughout the challenges of
the pandemic made the churches and
the circuit overall both examine, question
and review their ways of working. The
circuit will continue to review and
evaluate the ways in which it relates to
all those it serves over the coming
months and year.| |---|---|---| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |||| |---|---|---| |Achievements against
