We know that people can be put off ideas of 'God' and 'religion' for many reasons.
Some people think they have to behave a certain way and believe certain things, and wouldn't fit in to 'church'.
Some people weren't brought up with any religious tradition and assume it's just 'not for them'.
Some people are totally put off by things they have heard about church.
That's why the Methodist Church is growing new communities, starting new conversations, and exploring new ways of finding God.
We are starting new places for new people
Starting new Christian communities for those not yet part of an existing church.
New churches with those struggling financially
We believe that poverty contradicts the will of God. We want to celebrate communities where friendship is nurtured and the love of God is experienced.
We are having conversations that change things
Conversations with people who may see the world differently but are all looking for the spirituality running through life.
