Church Growth Trust

Church Growth Trust is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1138119).

Church Growth Trust exists to glorify God by securing independent church properties for Gospel use and, with churches, making them fit for their God-given purpose. It holds and accepts independent church properties, helps churches with their buildings, and supports church planting and the revitalisation of independent churches. It has 150 church properties in its care. Its annual report gives a total of £43,742 for giving, which may include grants to individuals.

Priority Areas

Church Growth Trust's grant-making supports the planting, development and revitalisation of independent churches, and assists Christian missions whose primary purpose is to plant, support or work with independent churches. It describes grant funding for sister organisations directly involved in church planting, and its annual report also records grants to occupying churches for building projects. Its stated charitable purposes place this grant activity in the UK. The Trust works alongside churches: beyond grants, its wider approach includes holding church properties, helping churches maintain and improve buildings for Gospel use, and providing property and architectural guidance. It gives priority in its property work to evangelical and independent churches, and also leases some buildings to denominational churches.
