Who is Roots for Churches?

We believe GREAT church transforms lives and communities.

Growing: We believe churches need resources to grow through worship, discipleship & mission.

Relevant: We believe worship, discipleship & mission must be expressed afresh through culture.

Engaging: We believe faith should engage our whole being.

Authentic: We believe Church is a place to belong and be known.

Together: We believe we should read the Bible in community.

We want to equip you to lead well in your church: facilitating excellent worship, transformational preaching, intergenerational ministry, and engaging children’s and youth groups.

Join us for interviews about the nitty gritty of ministry, worship, mission, preaching, theology, and everyone engaging with the Bible together.

Roots for Churches is an ecumenical partnership of the Methodist Church, the Church of England, the United Reformed Church, the Sunday School Council of Wales, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, and Christian Education.

The Roots staff team regularly gather together theologians and practitioners from around the UK to prayerfully consider scripture and write the resources you use each week. We publish seasonal and weekly lectionary-based resources to support worship and learning for all ages.

Our Managing Director, Melanie Cave, is the host of our podcast, introducing our writers and inviting you into the behind the scenes conversations that go into producing our resources.
