A Festival Church is a church building which is not used for weekly worship, but is valued and required by the community for local events and for Festivals of the Church and for Rites of Passage (Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals).

A Church of England funeral is available to everyone, giving support before, during and after the service, for as long as it’s needed.

The Church Development Tool exists to help you get to know your church better. It’s a survey available to you through AChurchNearYou.com - check out this blog to see how you can make the most of it.
