A guide to inspire and equip churches in growing a flourishing community
Over 1400 New Worshipping Communities (NWCs) were launched in the Church of England in 2025, from across the breadth of traditions and across the breadth of the country.
This new guide introduces New Worshipping Communities (NWCs) and is designed to help churches explore fresh ways of proclaiming the gospel to people who may not connect with traditional church expressions. It combines inspiring stories, practical insights, and useful resources to encourage churches to start something new in their local context.
Through real-life examples such as Forest Church, Toast Church, Bubble Church, Pub Missional Community, Seeds of Hope, Sinfin Moor New Housing Estate, and Don Urdu Fellowship, this guide shows how churches are responding creatively to the needs of their communities and seeing new life and flourishing faith.
