Partnering with us
Paul in Philippians 1 was full of joyful thanksgiving for the benefits of working together with others in the gospel. Churches who become Partners with Rural Ministries will often value other existing links. What unites us is the desire to share resources in order that there is an ongoing witness to Jesus Christ in rural Britain.
