Contact us:
Where are you based?
We are based in North West England and consider the whole of the United Kingdom and Ireland 'local' to our mission. The rest of the world are our friendly neighbours.
Are you a Church?
No, we are not and we do not want to replace any opportunity you may have to physically attend a Church.
We also do not want to replace any opportunities for you to attend a Church service virtually (online) whether live streamed or recorded.
God has called us to be part of His Church, to meet with others and to use our gifts to build it up. He has also called us to serve Him and each other with humility and joy.
See:
Hebrews 10:25, 1 Corinthians 12:4-7, Mark 10:45
However we are helping to fill some gaps, such as online fellowship with each other. These include our Coffee Meet Ups, Bible Study and Workshops etc.
In so doing we believe we are using the gifts we have received to serve others.
See 1 Peter 4:10
Where did it all begin?
With the pandemic. Many seeds were sown at that time and it's now, we are harvesting fruits.
We don't want to publish any spoilers and so you can read and understand more about how it all began and why, in our 'Life' Series, which is coming soon.
Do you have a location?
No. For now, we are exclusively online.
Our primary goal was to create an online community for those with accessibility needs - those unable to physically attend a church.
It was important that this was a full and vibrant place to be which includes a diverse range of online events and resources that you can access when you're able to.
Some online events will be live however, if you're unable to access these, a summary/transcript or recording can be available for you to catch up on.
Is the community just for those with accessibility needs?
Not at all.
By virtue of the fact we are online, we are able to challenge time-zones, unsociable work patterns and generally just be a little more available/flexible with what we do.
We have already connected with so many, all over the world. This is really exciting. We are ready to make connections with you wherever you are, and to pray.
Will you do in person events in the future for those who can get to them?
We would like to, yes. And we have some ideas.
Details of these will be published on our social media platforms and on the website as we feel we are led by God, in the future.
Are your events/workshops purely faith based?
Yes. We believe God has given us unique gifts and experiences that can be used to help and support you whether you're a believer or not. We honour God in everything we do so you can also know His transformative power and peace over your life.
We are fully incusive, this is extremely important to us.
So if you're not a believer, you will still find a lot of our events/workshops really helpful and practical for every day life. We welcome you to join in with anything that may be of interest to you.
Events and workshops are carefully crafted to explore/build faith but there are many that focus on helping you with life's challenges. These are limited to our own lived personal and professional experience however, we can refer you to others who can help support you, if we can't.
We are professionally accredited educators in a number of disciplines. Being an educator goes beyond 'teaching' and includes mentoring and supporting learning and development, in a variety of ways.
We are also accredited lecturers, meaning we can teach and support at a higher level of education.
One of the areas we are most passionate about (apart from our faith and sharing the message of Jesus), is mental ill health and holistic well-being. This means we can also provide pastoral care and the scope of this extends across all our lived experience of these life challenges. It also adds another dimension to the level of support we can offer through our events/workshops.
We generally invite smaller groups to participate in the workshops because sharing lived experience can help encourage and empower you however 1:1 sessions can be available. Just ask.
Do your events/workshops cost anything?
No.
We are very passionate about making sure finances are not a barrier to you accessing our resources and so everything is free, for everyone.
The only exception in terms of resources, may be more formal publications such as books.
In the future, if we are able to host in person events then we may need to charge a small fee to help cover expenses such as venue hire/refreshments but you will never contribute towards the 'purchase' of our resources.
This doesn't include your own personal expenses such as travel or accommodation if you do come along to a future in person event.
