Listening to the Voice of the Estates Planters

Useful insight into what helps estates church plants begin, grow, and flourish

THE GREGORY CENTRE FOR CHURCH Multiplication has released this useful research report, which sets out a clear understanding of what enables fruitful church planting on estates, and the models of ministry best suited to these communities.

The data explores the experiences of working-class leaders across various denominations and traditions, highlighting the ways in which training, discernment, and deployment pathways could better support those most naturally equipped for estate mission.

The findings explain what helps estates plants to thrive, what hinders them, and how the Church can better form and release leaders who fit the culture, pace, and reality of estate contexts.

Read the full report below:

CCX also has a useful leadership course, Become, which has been formed around the findings of this research, equipping anyone from a social housing estate with tools to serve their community.
