Mustard Seed Thinking: Stepping up in low-income communities

A five-year journey uncovering how God grows his Kingdom through people in local communities

THE MUSTARD SEED THINKING REPORT is a five-year collaborative study exploring how God has been at work through the Mustard Seed programme. Within the report you will find:

  • Stories that will inspire and encourage you
  • Deep theological insights that can shape your own understanding of God’s ongoing mission in our world
  • Strategic and programmatic learning that can help to inform how the church can continue to be formed and grow.

What is the Kingdom of God like? The parable of the mustard seed inspires us that even from very small beginnings, something amazing can grow!

It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”

Mark 4:31-32 NRSV
