Our Mission

The Revitalise Trust exists to serve, resource and revitalise the Church in its mission to reach the unchurched, make disciples and transform society. Our passion is to see vibrant, Spirit-filled churches, sharing the love of Jesus in practical ways in every community.  

Established in 2017 and building on HTB’s 30 years of church planting and revitalising experience, we focus on four key areas: 

Plants and Revitalisations

In partnership with local dioceses, we plant and revitalise churches in towns and cities across the country - from resource churches that become hubs for regeneration and social transformation, to neighbourhood churches in low-income areas, estates, villages and towns.

Developing Leaders

Healthy leaders grow healthy churches. We are committed to training, equipping and empowering leaders from varied and diverse backgrounds to enable them to lead and grow their churches effectively in the different contexts in which they serve. 

Network Support

Our leaders and their teams benefit from being part of our informal Network with ongoing training, mentoring, support and encouragement. We believe this investment is key to enabling churches to flourish and have a greater impact on the communities God has called them to.  

Love Your Neighbour

As well as growing churches, we long to see communities transformed and the vulnerable cared for. Love Your Neighbour supports churches working in local communities with expertise and resources to be highly impactful centres of social transformation.
