Rural Ministries
Inspiring, empowering and supporting churches called to serve rural communities across the UK.
A Growing Network of Rural Churches
Rural Ministries are a growing network of rural churches, pioneers and practitioners across the UK.
They exist to inspire, empower, and support denominations, churches, pioneers, and those with just a glimmer of an idea who are called to live in and serve rural communities. They listen to affiliated churches, to the context, and to God — coming alongside to encourage, support and collaborate.
Rural Ministries think differently. Where others see problems, they see opportunities — increasing expectation that God has not finished with the rural church.
