New Growing Disciples Fund

We are delighted to share that applications for churches to access new funding through our Diocesan-wide Church Growth Programme (CGP) are now open. 

The new Growing Disciples Fund is open to all churches that are not already in receipt of SDF or other Church Growth Programme, Resource Church or Revitalisation funds. Churches can apply for up to £5000 per year to support their strategic plans for growth. This funding could be used for new outreach initiatives, Christmas and Easter community events, discipleship materials and resources, or to fund interns.

To apply, churches must meet a certain criteria (use the link below to view) and demonstrate that their application is closely aligned to the Diocesan vision and at least one of the seven areas of focus. Applications must also include a Growing Disciples Plan. There is a rolling application process, so there is no specific deadline to apply, however we recommend you allow an application turnaround time of at least a month.

As we focus on Growing Disciples of Christ, bringing living hope to the city, towns and villages of Nottinghamshire and beyond, we pray that these funds will help to resource seeing this compelling vision realised in your local church context.
