Churches That Change Communities 2017
Becoming a church for the poor
Churches across the UK are at the frontline of caring for those in need in our country. Thousands of Christians give hours of their time to volunteering in social action projects. But how do we go from helping the poor to becoming churches where people of all backgrounds not only worship God together, but experience genuine community with one another that crosses divisions of class, status, wealth and more?
I’m delighted to invite you to our national conference, now in its seventh year. It will envision, equip and encourage you to increase your impact, affect your community and build churches where the poor are welcomed and fully involved. The day will include prophetic teaching, seminars, networking with one another and social action franchises, and worship with an opportunity for prayer. I very much hope you will join us!
Martin Charlesworth, team leader, Jubilee+
