Who are we?

Rural Ministries is an evangelical mission agency, working throughout the United Kingdom, with a wide variety of rural churches. We are much more interested in the health of a church, than whether it is large or small, old or new. Encouraging church planting is one of our priorities and we are always interested in meeting people open to exploring possibilities. Increasingly we are committed to helping with the training needs of those in rural church leadership.

Our staff seeks to provide a personal and readily available support service. They have considerable experience in the practical and spiritual challenges of church leadership. No question is unimportant and not much is a surprise.  As an outside resource they are often able to assist and encourage churches. One phone call or email may open the door to a new perspective.

As a registered charity, Rural Ministries is directed by a Council, consisting of respected leaders from a variety of denominational backgrounds.
