Thank you for investing in our church planting initiative

A great big ‘thank you’ to everyone who completed a ‘plant forHim’ standing order form at the Bishop’s Bible Week.

The appeal realised pledges of more than £15,000 per annum, allowing us to continue this work. If, as we hope, these pledges remain in place for the next 10 years we will have a fund of at least £250,000, including the £100,000 already raised.

How we’re using the fund

Seed–funding from the Down and Dromore Church Planting Fund is enabling new church plants to be set up in areas already identified by the diocese. Churches have been planted in Moneyreagh (October 2013), the Braniel (December 2013) and Glen Community Church in Newtownards launched in August 2014. 

The fund has also contributed towards training for 12 diocesan evangelists, currently on a 2 year course, with another intake planned for 2015. 

Please contact the Bishop’s office if you missed the opportunity to donate and would like to do so at any time (tel: 028 9082 8850). Alternatively, download a flyer with standing order form here.
