Newbigin Pioneering Hub

Pioneering is about releasing ordinary people to do the extraordinary things they dream about – enabling crazy, and not so crazy, ideas to take shape as part of the mission of the church.

The Newbigin Pioneering Hub is an initiative which offers:

  • spare-time training in pioneer ministry for those starting out
  • a community for pioneers within the ¹ú²úÎÞÂë and beyond
  • all led by people with deep lived experience of the ups and downs of starting new things in a wide variety of settings

Could God be calling you to step out in faith with us to see your God-given dreams in your local community flourish in faith, hope and love?

Join us

Do you See…

  • New possibilities?
  • A way where there is no way?
  • Ideas for mission in your community that just might work?
  • A new community of disciples where there is none?
  • How your local community can flourish in God’s love and shalom, but know this can’t happen alone?

If you can see even a glimpse of any of these, then why not be part of the Newbigin Pioneering Hub and see if your hopes can be realised together with us.

Come and join us – we aim to support people as they discover with God how to respond to what they see around them – through learning, resourcing and networking – we can go further together.
