About
We exist to resource churches and associated ministries in their work in their local communities and city so that every local community and individual can experience life in all its fullness, living better for less, in body, mind and soul.
Who we are:
-
A CHARITY resourcing churches and associated ministries in their work in their local communities across Hull.
-
A courageous, compassionate and creative CONVERSATION that is unfolding, a conversation exploring what it might mean to “rewild the church” here in Hull.
-
A web of relationships and friendships spread across the city - a dispersed COMMUNITY of people exploring what it might mean to follow Jesus together in this place and at this time.
How we are:
Our “core values” that we commit to living and working by are:
-
Pray - we work from a place of rest; we contemplate; we listen deeply…
-
Reflect - we create spaces to think; we have courageous conversations; we share critical thinking…
-
Pilgrim - we walk slowly; we wander adventurously; we stay open to being interrupted…
-
Connect - we grow friendships; we weave webs; we bring people together…
-
Challenge - we pioneer; we cultivate the prophetic imagination; we promote justice…
-
Empower - we encourage; we come alongside; we support others to do things for themselves…
