ESTATES

Championing the Church across estates, planting and supporting estate church communities

Millions of people who live on social housing estates don’t have a local church accessible to them. That’s why we want to plant new worshipping communities where there is no church and also help existing estate churches to flourish.

This is frontline work for the Church and new approaches are needed. CCX is there at the cutting edge, devising new training and resources. We work with local Christian leaders who have rich local knowledge and experience. We want estates’ communities to know they are valuable to God, and have a welcoming church expressing God’s love at the heart of each estate.

What would our towns and cities look like if there was a Christian worshipping community on every estate?

Introduction to Estates Mission

Introduction to Estates Mission is a six-part online self-guided course for any church leader, who wants to learn more about estates ministry.

Based on some basic biblical principles of mission, Introduction to Estates Mission offers insight and examples of how mission can look in the estates context and encouragement to leaders everywhere to take the first steps to reach out to their local estates communities.

Become

Become is for leaders from estate and low income communities at the start of their journeys who may not fit traditional training pathways.

An accessible theology and leadership course, Become is a series of 10 sessions that equip anyone from an estates or low income community with the tools needed to serve their communities or estates churches, or play their part in church planting. CCX offers Become as a course that churches and community leaders can deliver in their local context.

Multiply Estates Mission

Multiply Estates Mission is an opportunity to explore what it take to build churches for those who don’t yet belong, to create welcome homes for the weary, for those longing to find a family in Christ.

Join us in London on Tuesday 25 March or Bristol on Thursday 27 March to gather in unity to recognise our need for each other in order to fulfil the roles God has given us.

Estates Apprenticeship Scheme

A two-year, hands-on training programme designed to equip emerging leaders from estates and low-income communities.

Apprentices receive practical experience, theological training and shoulder-to-shoulder learning, all while serving in local churches and estates communities training them to plant new worshipping communities.
