We often draw clear lines between church and social action – but should the two really be that distinctive? Church isn’t just what happens on a Sunday morning.
On Thursday 23 March, we’ll be joined by panelists who are breaking down barriers and reimagining what church-led social action is all about.
Do your community projects feel detached from the rest of church life?
Do you struggle to get those who use your food banks or debt advice to connect with church?
Do you long to see your whole community united with a common purpose?
If so, you need to join us! We’ll be getting real about what it means to be salt and light in our communities week in, week out.
Victoria Armstrong and Nigel Adams have successfully brought church and social action together to create supportive communities with Christ at the centre.
Join us to find out how they’ve done it, and what steps you can take to bring positive change in your community.
