Small churches, big results: Church planting in Manchester

The Antioch Network in Manchester is receiving a Strategic Development Fund (SDF) grant for a project to grow sixteen new churches through a network of small churches

MANCHESTER. IT’S A POST-INDUSTRIAL CITY of 2.7 million people, and like many cities, it’s very diverse. People from countries around the world have made their homes in the city and its surrounding areas.

But, like many areas, it has seen a decline in church attendance in recent years.

It’s a trend that the Diocese of Manchester’s small-to-small church planting team are starting to reverse with the help of an SDF grant.
