Growing the Rural Church works to resource rural Mission Communities to creatively use their talents and buildings, and to connect with their unique communities and landscapes to develop sustainable futures.
The Diocese of Exeter’s vision for growth includes the Growing the Rural Church Project. The Project runs for eight years (2017-2024) and is backed by a £1 million grant from the Church Commissioners Strategic Development Fund with additional funding from our Diocesan Synod.
