Question 1

Who is this event for?

Accepted Answer

Anybody who is curious about the Festival Church Model but specifically churches that want to explore a different way of "doing church" that makes the most of their resources. The event will therefore appeal to churchwardens, PCC members, congregation members and church support officers.

Question 2

Is the event specifically for rural churches?

Accepted Answer

No. Whilst the model will appeal to rural churches it can be used by all churches

Question 3

Does exploring the Festival Church Model start a formal process?

Accepted Answer

No. This is just an informal event to enable you to explore your options and where to get further information and help. The Festival Church model might not be right for you but we believe that exploring it as an option will put your church in a better position to serve your community moving forward.
