We are so thankful for the continued prayers, encouragement, and generosity of those who partner with us. Over the past few months, we have seen God’s provision in remarkable ways especially through the kind donations of churches who believe in our vision to serve church leaders, operational managers and administrators across the UK.
Your support means so much. It enables us to continue creating resources, developing new initiatives, and supporting leaders who carry the weight of ministry every day. Thank you for standing with us in this work.
Clarity of Vision and Direction
We’re grateful for God’s guidance as ourTrustees have spent time discerning the next phase of The Church Office’s mission. There’s a renewed clarity and excitement about the future, with a focus on resourcing churches to run well so that ministry can flourish. Please continue praying for wisdom and unity as we plan for the year ahead.
The Church Assistant Program
Our pilot project providing remote admin support to a local vicar has been such an encouragement! It’s been a real demonstration of how practical help can release leaders to focus on people and ministry. We’re now exploring how this service might grow and we ask for continued prayer as we discern next steps and connect with more churches who might benefit.
The Good Church Management Course
We’re thrilled to share that filming for The Good Church Management Course is complete, and the course is now available! This has been a big step for us, and we’ve seen God’s hand in every detail from content creation to collaboration with church leaders. Please pray that it will equip and bless those who take part in the course, helping churches run more effectively for God’s glory.
Growing Impact and Reach
We’re encouraged to see new partnerships forming and more church leaders discovering our resources and podcast. We continue to pray that God will extend the reach of The Church Office, connecting us with churches who need support in leadership, organisation, and administration.
Thank You for Your Support
To the churches and individuals who have donated, thank you. Your generosity makes possible everything we do. Every gift helps us serve more churches, create better tools, and share the message that effective church administration is gospel work.
Please continue to pray for God’s provision, creativity, and guidance as we move forward. Together, we can help churches thrive behind the scenes.
