Creed exists to serve and help churches to grow and be more effective in living out and promoting faith in Christ, by enabling them to implement a vision for their ministry and outreach to the local community.
Assist Church leaders to inspire and develop creative approaches to meeting wider community needs
Motivate churches to engage with the local community in imaginative ways by providing them with the means to implement their vision
Encourage the maximisation of the use of church facilities, resources and other property for the spiritual and social benefit of the wider community
Assess the needs and available resources and formulate a practical action plan through consultation with congregations and leaders, that can be readily implemented
Assist with progressing and developing the agreed project if required
Advise churches on funding opportunities
Build the capacity and skills of churches to include, among others, business planning, community audits, community relations, capital project development, management and fund raising.
"This fresh approach to helping churches make better use of their facilities, for the benefit of the community as well as of the church, is to be warmly welcomed"
