Ryedale is a rural circuit in North Yorkshire with strong farming links and stretches from Farndale in the North East to Rievaulx in the South West and includes some of the most beautiful countryside in England.

There are two market towns, Helmsley and Kirkbymoorside, each with their own Methodist Church, and there are five village Methodist churches and a local Methodist/Anglican ecumenical partnership in Kirkdale Parish.

Two other 'churches together' groups are in operation and there is an active Christian Council (One of the first to be established in the country)

Ryedale Methodist Circuit, along with the other churches, constantly aim to be the worshipping body of Christ in the area, serving the community and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our neighbours.
