Welcome to our District Website

The South East District of the Methodist Church covers the counties of Kent, East and West Sussex and parts of Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire as well as Malta and Gibraltar. We are a group of Christian disciples committed to following Jesus in a Methodist way. That means we want to put our faith in practice through worship, learning and caring, serving others and evangelism working wherever possible in partnership with others.

This website tells you about what the District does to support the work of our 17 Circuits and 206 churches. You can find out about opportunities for learning and development; how to apply for funding and how to get in touch with District Officers. 

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this website so that we can make any changes to make it more accessible or useful. So if you have any comments, please make them by clicking here.
