What is a Fresh Expression?
According to Mission-Shaped Church, a Fresh Expressions of Church is “a way of describing outreach activities which have become new worshipping communities or new congregations.”
If you have recently started or have an idea for a fresh expression of church, get in touch with one of our team. They can provide support and answer any questions you have along the way on how to grow and nurture your new congregation.
Looking for inspiration?
A Fresh Expression of Church can take any number of forms – whatever works in your parish! To see what other people are getting up to, have a read of our case studies.
You can also view recent news articles on new congregations across the Diocese of Oxford.
