Buildings for Mission

Introduction

Well-maintained and enhanced church buildings are a strong witness that the Christian faith is very much alive and making a positive difference in our communities- our buildings ‘speak’. They are our place for collective worship, a house of prayer and a resource for mission. If you're looking for guidance on raising funds for building works, go to the Diocesan Giving and Fundraising page.
