Circuit Rider

A Circuit Rider is a trained outreach worker or minister who travels among different communities, often in rural or underserved areas, to provide religious services, spiritual support, and community assistance. Historically, they helped spread religious teachings and offered guidance where local clergy or resources were scarce. Today, similar roles may include community organizers or faith leaders who visit various locations to offer support, conduct services, or facilitate programs. Their primary goal is to connect people with spiritual, emotional, or social resources, fostering community well-being across dispersed or hard-to-reach populations.
