Rural Ministries has a network of Partner Churches and Mission Initiatives across the UK. A key feature of the network is how we help Partners learn from, and support each other. Many Partners have a great story to tell and you can find some of these below.

Campfire Worship revisited with the Wellington District Team Ministry

Many of us have enjoyed an evening around a campfire. Rev. Selina Garner, Wellington and District Team Vicar and Missioner, has combined campfire and worship in a number of creative ways. Perhaps your church could draw from Selina’s experiences and ideas, which she shares in the article?

Abundance or scarcity: missional listening in Dorset

With the help of Rural Ministries, Ben Lucas has for the past year been a Missional Listener in Dorset. Ben has written an article, reflecting on his first year in the role.

God can do anything you know

Mount Zion Church, Cliviger have just opened an inclusive access and community space which begins an exciting new chapter in the life of our partner church. We asked Shirley Ashworth, the project coordinator to tell us the story.

The Happiness Lab

What do you talk about with your non-Christian friends?

The weather? The latest box sets on Netflix? Has the size of a Cadbury’s cream egg really got smaller? For most of us perhaps, it’s not too difficult to find something trivial to talk about; maybe even with people we don’t know so well.

 

But what about the subject of faith? Is it easy to share the good news with our friends, family, neighbours and colleagues? How about people in our wider community and those on the fringes of our churches?

The folk at our Strategic Partner 'The Ugly Duckling Company' has been wondering the same thing as Director Sharon Lanfear explains.

The Point Hexham: The 'write' type of welcome

What is the vision and purpose of welcoming people to our Christian gatherings? The answer, is, of course, to lead people towards getting to know Jesus, either for the first time or once again.

We asked David Flavell, Minister of The Point, Hexham, to offer an insight to how they approach their welcome, his response is both creative and in truth confirms what we would all like to hear.

Kircubbin Community Church

Matthew Kerr was inducted as our pastor on Sunday 29th April 2018.   

This is a new position for the church and Matthew's first pastorate, so please continue to pray for us all as he settles into his new role.
