The Roots team regularly gather theologians and practitioners from around the UK, Ireland and Australia to prayerfully consider Scripture and write the resources you use each week.

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 transformational worship and preaching, intergenerational ministry, engaging children’s and youth groups, and relevant mission.
Roots for Churches is an ecumenical partnership of the Methodist Church, the Church of England, the Church of Ireland, the United Reformed Church, the Sunday School Council of Wales, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, and Christian Education.
