Christ Church Fulwood

Christ Church Fulwood is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1134057).

Christ Church Fulwood is a church whose mission is to glorify God through its worship and work, build up believers, reach others with the message of Jesus, and send out Christians equipped for gospel ministry in the UK and overseas. Its annual report shows £108,040 paid out in its latest reporting period. Its mission support is organised into five defined categories: World Mission Partner (Word Ministry), UK Mission Partner (Word Ministry), Mission Associates (supporting Word Ministry), Mission Partner in Training, and Short Term.

Priority Areas

Christ Church Fulwood focuses its mission support on Mission Partners and Mission Associates engaged in gospel ministry beyond the parish, in both cross-cultural and non-cross-cultural settings. This includes direct Word ministry and activities that support it, such as healthcare, poverty relief and practical roles. Its vision is to plant churches and train Christian leaders, and it aims to identify, equip, train and send leaders into cross-cultural mission. It supports work in the UK and abroad and helps people consider engagement in world mission, providing training and preparation where appropriate. The church prefers to partner with recognised mission agencies for Mission Partners; Mission Associates may choose whether to go with one. It also offers encouragement, advice, guidance and a small grant to approved short-termers when requested. Support depends on the mission budget, the needs of partners and the committee’s assessment of their ministries.
