What is Church at the Margins all about?
Is God calling you to begin new Christian communities amongst people who are struggling financially or living in poverty?
Church at the Margins is a core specialised priority stream of New Places for New People, receiving 60% of Connexional funding for districts and circuits.
Church is a community of people being transformed by the gospel, learning to live like Jesus, and making disciples.
At the margins means being alongside people, not doing things to or for them. It’s about mutuality, dignity, and shared leadership.
