Superintendent's Welcome
A very warm welcome to the Somerset Mendip Methodist Circuit. We are so glad you are with us. We are made up of 14 churches and 3 classes / fellowship meetings stretching from Rode to Banwell, Norton Down to Wincanton. You will find a warm and inviting welcome in each. We have three ministers, including myself, three lay pastoral and community outreach workers, two administrative staff, as well as a dedicated team of circuit stewards and other lay volunteers. Please feel free to contact any of them through this website.
We are a friendly open circuit who believe in God’s justice, love and hope and seek to live it in the world.
Come and join us!
My Story
My name is Rev Andrew Prout. I have been a Minister in the Methodist Church since 1997 and was appointed Superintendent Minister of the Somerset Mendip Methodist Circuit in 2025. My first appointment was in Launceston where I looked after seven small rural chapels in a rural context. My second was in Bristol where I looked after two suburban Churches in Hanham and Oldland Common. My previous appointment was in St. Albans where I was responsible for one of the town Churches and two village Churches. I am delighted to be in the Somerset Mendip Circuit my great grandmother having been born in Frome in 1871. I fully support the principle of the Methodist Church endeavouring to be a growing, inclusive, justice seeking, and evangelistic body of believers. I would be delighted for you to make contact and direct to any one of our Churches and Fellowship Meetings.
