Welcome

Welcome to the Buckingham, Bicester and Brackley Methodist Circuit.

Popularly known as the 3Bs Circuit, we are a Circuit of The Methodist Church that covers the towns of Buckingham, Bicester and Brackley together with surrounding villages.

The Circuit consists of eight Methodist churches and one ecumenical congregation. Our Superintendent Minister is Rev’d Steve Mann. Please visit individual church websites for up-to-date information on services taking place. 

The 3Bs circuit is part of the wider Northampton Methodist District (click here to visit the District website).

Each Sunday the 3Bs Circuit records the service held at Bicester Methodist Church and puts this on line for those who would prefer to watch from home or are unable to come out for whatever reason. To view the latest on-line service visit the Bicester Methodist Church website.
