ReSource : What do we do?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Making a difference


We live in a time of change, and change can be painful, uneasy. How will we respond? Can we have confidence in this ancient faith of ours? ReSource wants to travel with the local church according to its God-given vision to bring about lasting change in our communities. Our aim is to facilitate fresh vision, strengthened relationships and renewed energy wherever we go.

We do not come with a package. We work with all traditions and denominations, believing that God loves our diversity. We offer not programmes but resources – human resources, written resources, spiritual resources. We always begin by listening, and shape our contribution according to what we hear. We want to help build relationships - with and within the churches, and between all of us and the living God.


A vision for the future

  • People alive in the Spirit and informed by the Word

  • Across the country diverse, confident and growing local churches, renewed by the Spirit and effective in mission.

  • As the love of God flows out, spiritual and practical consequences in the wider community.

Lord, transform your world, renew your Church, and start with me.

How can we help?

Our vision is to help build a church which is diverse, local, renewed in the Spirit and effective in mission. We work with denominations, dioceses, local groupings and individual churches. These are some of the situations we have been asked to help with. If any of these chime with your needs, do get in touch with us. But there are lots of others too – please ask us.

The local church

Deaneries, dioceses and denominations

Publications and Resource materials

And so on, however the Lord leads. We always try to match the offering to the expectation, and improvisation is one of our strengths. We always listen first.

For feedback on our ministry please see our ‘What do people say about us’ page.

What will these things cost?

We are a self-supporting charity with no central funding; we live by faith. We ask for the refund of our travelling expenses for any preparation visits and for the work itself, and then accommodation and/or subsistence as necessary. In addition we invite a contribution to our time and to the cost of running ReSource - to the extent which you or your church can afford. This can be handled by budgeting in advance and/or by taking up a thank-offering at the event itself, if that is appropriate. By way of guidance we suggest a daily rate for contributions of £165 per ReSource person per day, to be paid to the ReSource office; but we emphasise that the main criterion is what can be afforded. The more that can be given, the more it enables us to work in places where even our expenses can’t be met.
