Current Season:
ARISE:HALLOW
On the 31st of October every year communities open up and engage with each other more than any other day and yet a lot of the time Christians are hidden away. We want to change the conversation that Halloween is scary and something to hide from but rather an opportunity to show hospitality and shine the light of Jesus in to the darkness.
THE GOSPEL DELIVERY PROJECT
Good News for every home.
A citywide mission to offer the message of Jesus to every home in Sheffield.
Over five years, trained volunteers will deliver a beautifully designed Gospel of Mark, rooted in Sheffield’s story, to around 250,000 households.
More than distribution, it’s about equipping Christians to share their faith naturally and helping people explore the Bible and connect with local churches.
