Welcome to the Leigh & Hindley Circuit
of the Methodist Church.

The Leigh and Hindley Circuit is a group of Methodist Churches that are bound together in mutual support. Their common bond is that they owe their allegiance to Jesus Christ. They retain their individual identities, but come together to do those things they could not do on their own, and to do things more effectively.

The Circuit is comparatively new, having been in existence only since 1996 when the two circuits of Leigh and Hindley were joined together. It covers quite a large area, as shown by the map, some parts being very rural while others are in parts that were once highly industrial. It consists of 14 churches which are served by 5 ministers.

The churches have been built in a variety of styles from traditional to modern and styles of worship are also diverse. Newcomers to the area should be able to find a style to suit themselves. Our Bickershaw church has, unfortunately, recently closed.
