Circuit Connexion

As Methodists at Donard we are part of a connexion of 212 churches (societies) spread across the island of Ireland from North to South, from East to West with a membership of around 53,000.

Circuit Connexion

As a small part of an even larger global Christian church, the Methodist Church in Ireland has shared values with those who follow Jesus around the world.

Locally we form the southernmost part of the newly formed Lagan Valley and South Down Circuit along with Ballynahinch, Dromore, Priesthill (Zion), Magheragall, Broomhedge, Trinity (Lisburn), Seymour Street (Lisburn) and our newest sister congregation based at The Church on the Hill Maghaberry (which is a covenant church shared with the Church of Ireland).

Our Superintendent (Senior) minister is Rev David Turtle from Seymour Street in Lisburn.
