We want to see new churches planted across the UK, and by working together we can address the needs of our nation much more effectively.
Practical support is available to churches considering church planting, including consultation about the appropriate ‘model’ to use.
We also offer support and training to planters through networking and conferences.
We welcome around ten new church plants into the FIEC family every year, giving them the benefit of being part of the wider Fellowship.
We also have grants available for new churches to help them with the costs of setting up as a charity.
To be eligible for church plant funding, a plant must be formally ‘recognised’ by FIEC. Recognition gives a plant some of the support and benefits of affiliation without them needing to have a formal constitution. Find out more by contacting us through our 'Join us' page.
Planters
Planters is our conference to help those leading new churches, taking place over two days in February at Highgate House in Northamptonshire.

Replanting and Revitalisation
You might know faithful but smaller churches that are struggling to keep going. Replanting could be the Lord's provision to bring new life to them.

Parachute Church Planting
To reach people in areas without a gospel presence we need to plant new works often starting with a very small team. For example, Grace Church Hilton.

Mother-Daughter Church Planting
Planting a church from a larger church can have advantages as well as challenges. The story of Rylands Community Church gives examples of both.
