The role of a circuit steward SO 531 (1) states: “The circuit stewards are responsible, with the Superintendent and the ministers and probationers appointed to the Circuit, for the spiritual and material well-being of the Circuit, and for upholding and acting upon the decisions of the Circuit Meeting.” Circuit Stewards’ Induction Training – Module 1 6

The role of a circuit steward SO 500 states: “The Circuit is the primary unit in which Local Churches express and experience their interconnexion in the Body of Christ, for purposes of mission, mutual encouragement and help. It is in the Circuit that presbyters, deacons and probationers are stationed and local preachers are trained and admitted and exercise their calling. Continued on next slide… Circuit Stewards’ Induction Training – Module 1 7

The role of a circuit steward Continued from previous slide… “The purposes of the Circuit include the effective deployment of the resources of ministry, which include people, property and finance, as they relate to the Methodist churches in the Circuit, to churches of other denominations and to participation in the life of the communities served by the Circuit, including local schools and colleges, and in ecumenical work in the area including, where appropriate, the support of ecumenical Housing Associations.” Circuit Stewards’ Induction Training – Module 1 8
