This seven-session course is designed to help rural churches explore the HeartEdge principles developed by Sam Wells: compassion, culture, commerce, and congregation.

 It begins with an introduction to the foundational concept of abundance, encouraging participants to move beyond a mindset of scarcity and embrace God’s overflowing grace. 

Each session focuses on one of the 4Cs, offering biblical reflections, practical examples, and open discussions to inspire creative approaches to ministry.

The course culminates in a session that ties together the insights and actions from the previous weeks, followed by a reflective gathering several months later to evaluate how ideas have developed in practice.

This course equips rural churches to recognise and celebrate the unique opportunities and gifts present in their contexts, encouraging collaboration and innovation.

It is offered to churches with a ‘donation’ of £10 per participant.
( Subsidies are available if this is prohibitive.) 

This will provide an online session to introduce the course and explain how it runs.
And a further online session at the end to offer advice on how to develop the vision that emerges from the course.
