Rural mission

The Ã山ǿ¼é supports rural churches and Christians through our work with the Arthur Rank Centre.

The Arthur Rank Centre is an independent ecumenical charity that helps UK rural communities flourish by inspiring, encouraging and equipping local churches.ÌýIt does this in three ways:

1. Church Life

Supporting congregations with resources for worship, discipleship and the maintenance and creative use of buildings:

• – a wide variety of materials for rural worship
• – resources that can be used in church communities
• – resources to help the maintenance of church buildings

2. Mission

Helping communities flourish by equipping rural churches to identify and meet local physical, social and spiritual needs:

• – a toolkit that helps the better understanding of local congregations and communities
• – rural evangelism training for local churches
• – an annual event celebrating the life of rural churches
• – a practical resource for churches

3. Training

Developing leaders and church members through training programmes, events, conferences and learning communities:

• – a personal development programme for lay and ordained rural leaders
• – a three-day course for those new to rural ministry
• – learning communities for rural multi-church groups
• – the organisation’s biennial day conference for all those in rural mission and ministry
