Church Army UK & Ireland

We’re delighted to announce that Matt Barlow has been appointed as our new CEO, bringing with him over 30 years of leadership experience in charity and ministry. (1/6)

@GiveWP please respond to our Priority Support requests with urgency.

@NorthSuttonCofM @biblesociety @SouthwarkCofE Brilliant stuff! 🥰

Great morning at St Peter’s, St Helier as we reflected on the first nativity thinking about all the characters. @biblesociety #instantnativity @ChurchArmy @SouthwarkCofE

Today marks the second Sunday of Advent: Peace. Pray with us 🙏 Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Today is International Volunteer Day! 🎉 We are so grateful for the hundreds of people who give their time to make our work possible. Whether you’re a Waterways Chaplain, a foodbank volunteer – thank you. 💖 Find out how you can help transform lives 👉️ churcharmy.org/get-involved/

#HumpDay? How about #HopeDay instead? Okay, we know - we missed the Advent Sunday. 🫢 But it's never a bad time to 🙏 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

Today is #GivingTuesday! 💙 We are so blessed by our supporters, who help us ignite faith and restore life across the UK & Ireland. They are an integral part of our Army of Hope 🌟 Want to be part of it? churcharmy.org/christmas/

Great to see our @SouthwarkCofE #Magnify group thinking about Evangelism & the five marks of Mission in our context! #marksofmission @ChurchArmy

A massive thank you to the 156 incredible people who have joined our army of hope through the Premier Christian Radio appeal! 🎉 Your giving is transforming the lives of those affected by homelessness, addiction, loneliness, knife crime and poverty. churcharmy.org/premier

On Wednesday the first budget of this Labour Government was announced. We were pleased by some of the changes - but concerned about the levels of poverty across the UK, which this budget could have done more to address. Read our response here ➡️ churcharmy.org/budget-reactio…

Happy All Saints' Day! As summer leaves us, we want to take a fleeting moment to remember our question from summer — and today, we ask you all: Who's been a Saint in your life? Someone who has exemplified faith and encouraged you on your own? Share in the comments below 👇

@OurCofELike @fjtweedie @PenfoldSue While we train Evangelists, many of our Centres of Mission can be forms of Church Planting in partnership with the Dioceses we're based in led by those Evangelists. There are a number of our Centres which actively push through with Fresh Expression Church!

@OurCofELike @fjtweedie @PenfoldSue Hello! We heard you were looking to get in contact with us 👀 Your best bet will be either give us a call as you mention, or drop a message on our contact form churcharmy.org/contact-us/ Then your message can be passed to the most relevant person with the info at hand!

Also, I think about this quite a lot in relation to parish churches being places where others regularly hear the gospel, and come to faith… Are there churches in the Church of England that commission evangelists, and is there a scheme for applying for them?

At lunchtime today the Chancellor of the Exchequer will announce the Autumn Budget, outlining the Government's upcoming spending and taxation plans. We invite you to pray with us:

It was a pleasure to welcome the CEOs of the Mission Societies to Lambeth Palace for a rich and insightful conversation. Leaders from the @MothersUnion, @USPGglobal, @cmsmission, @ChurchArmy, the Intercontinental Church Society, and Crosslinks joined together, representing a rich diversity of traditions and perspectives. Our discussions spanned a range of important topics, including the global political situation, social cohesion here in the UK, and reflections on issues from our past that we must continue to address. Grateful for the opportunity to share in this meaningful dialogue
