Resources World Mission Environment Mission Team Mission News Fresh Expressions in Suffolk Changing Church for a Changing World Fresh Expressions encourages new forms of church for a fast changing world, working with Christians from a variety of denominations and traditions. The initiative has resulted in hundreds of new congregations being formed alongside more traditional churches across the country. These new initiatives are intended to be for people who currently have little or no connection with Church. Finding Fresh Expressions Below you can find maps to different Fresh Expressions throughout Suffolk. Messy Church | Cafe Church | Other Fresh Expressions Starting Fresh Expressions with Mission Shaped Ministry Next MSM Course Starts September 2015 Dave Gardner, Director of Mission writes ‘The MSM course provides an ideal opportunity to be equipped to develop new forms of church and congregations for those who are currently not attracted to existing forms of church. Recent national research suggests that Fresh Expressions of Church are one of the most effective ways of reaching those who have never been to church in our increasingly secular culture. In a supportive community from across all denominations we will learn together how to witness to our faith in Christ. We start by listening to our changing communities, serving all generations and social backgrounds and in time provide pathways for discipleship. The course will be of benefit to those seeking to establish Fresh Expressions of Church. In Suffolk this now includes Messy Church, Café Church, Coffee and Doughnuts, Football Fellowship, Acoustic Cafes, Spiritual Seekers and many more! Others find the course helpful in re-imagining their mission from within a Parish Church setting. Group Project coaching is offered to apply the principles into your local context'.
