We know that local churches play a big part in people coming to faith – which is why everything we do is to support churches and church leaders as they pursue the mission God has given them.
Church websites are, more often than not, the first port of call for people searching for a church to visit.
Even before a new visitor comes for the first time on a Sunday morning, the website can answer a whole range of questions they might have.
Does the website make the church look modern, or old-fashioned? Are there children’s groups? Are there rules? When does it start? When does it finish? Can you park? Do the people look friendly?
If the answers to those questions are nowhere to be found, or if they’re hiding away in a corner somewhere, the potential visitor may well decide to go elsewhere.
Which is why Andrew (Greenhalgh), who many of you will know as the Operations and Communications Lead of TFH, is offering TFH partners a reduced rate on a brand new website or website upgrade.
When he’s not working with TFH, Andrew works with other churches and charities as Bees Creative Content.
He has built websites for churches and charities in the UK and overseas, and for businesses up and down the country.
A former journalist and a graphic designer, he can also help with writing content for websites and designing print media such as postcards, flyers and banners.
Aside from the fact that church websites really are a good way to reach more people with the good news of Jesus, TFH partner churches will receive a 20% discount on all work carried out by Bees Creative Content, with full websites available from £595 (£750 to non-TFH partners) and redesigns from £280 (£350 to non-TFH partners).
The 20% discount applies to all work carried out by Andrew for TFH partner churches, including social media work, graphic design (flyers, newsletters), content writing (e.g. website content) and training in Canva, WordPress, ChurchSuite, Facebook and Instagram.
To find out more, email Andrew at operations@tfh.org.uk including the name of your church.
To support and equip churches to mobilise their members into mission, to reach every man, woman and child with the gospel, such that we see gospel saturation and transformation of our city region
Prayer happens in a variety of ways in the different boroughs – among leaders, in churches, and regionally when Christians from all across the 6 boroughs are invited to a termly prayer and worship gathering. We are also committed to encouraging everyone to pray for the street in which they live, partnering with Neighbourhood Prayer Network.Â

We work with church leaders to help them establish an integrated pathway for their churches, to take people from not yet Christians, to disciples, to disciple makers.
Our Evangelism Strategy Team contributes to this process by helping equip members in missional confidence. We create, curate and connect people to a variety of tools, vehicles and resources.

Through our Church Planting Coalition we are supporting churches from all backgrounds, geographies, and ethnicities who want to plant new missional expressions of church.
This could include turning existing small groups inside out, starting microchurches / house churches, planting neighbourhood congregations, and establishing city-wide resource churches. Our aim is to see one missional expression of church for every thousand people. 1 in 1000.

Through joining the dots of the various networks who are developing social action and justice projects, we encourage new projects to start and best practice to be applied. Through these networks we are able to help avoid duplication and competition. We know that the gospel must be both seen in action, felt where needs exist, and be heard clearly so that people can respond to it.

We know that church leaders are under huge pressures, and this affects both physical and mental health. We will create safe contexts and opportunities for leaders to process their stresses and pressures and connect them to support resources so they can be in the race for the long haul.
