Proximity exists to resource urban mission by...

  • Calling the church into proximity with those experiencing urban poverty.

By raising awareness of the disconnect between the church and those living in low-income communities Proximity will call the church to focus its missional efforts towards those on the edges of society.

  • Walking in proximity with those on the frontlines of urban mission.

Through our online hub and in person community, Proximity will resource and support Christians living and ministering in urban contexts.

  • Pointing to the proximity of Christ in our urban communities.

By sharing the stories of those involved in urban ministry we will highlight best practice and share key learning, celebrating how God is moving in estates.

    Learning

    Proximity will create opportunities for those involved in urban mission to reflect upon their practice, providing a platform to share learning and experience with others involved in estates ministry.

  • Knowing there are other followers of Jesus doing similar things around the country is reassuring!  The burdens of other people’s suffering and mess can be heavy at times. Being encouraged to keep going, keep praying, keep coming back to Jesus is precious. Thank you.

  • Just wanted to say that the proximity stuff is so good! It is so encouraging to read posts that actually feel relevant to our church experience/where we live. So needed.

  • I have been using the Mission Mapping resource with our womens group. So far we discovered that no one knew who their local councillors were so this week I invited one of our councillors to the group. This was a fantastic session and the women now feel empowered to contact the council with local issues.
