Plants & 
Revitalisations

In line with the Church of England’s strategy for growth, we work with dioceses to plant and revitalise churches in towns and cities across the country – from resource churches that become hubs for resourcing and regeneration in their dioceses, to neighbourhood churches that have significant impact on the communities they serve, often located in low-income areas and on housing estates. 

Partnering with Dioceses

Since 1985, HTB has been partnering with dioceses across the nation to restore and revitalise Anglican churches - many of which faced imminent closure. These churches are now home to vibrant, spirit-filled, worshipping communities that are having a significant impact on their local communities.  

Neighbourhood Churches

We estimate that by 2030 over 50% of our network will be neighbourhood churches, including those on housing estates and in areas of high deprivation in suburban residential areas of towns and cities. This involves a different approach to ministry and has become a key priority for our mission.
