Is your church actually welcoming, or is it just polite?
Most churches would say they are welcoming and friendly. But what does that welcome look like in practice?

Our Radical Welcome course starting Oct 6th invites us to look again at how our churches work - and to ask whether everyone can genuinely participate, contribute and belong.

Instead of asking "How do we get 'them' to join us?", what if we asked:
"How can we change so everyone truly belongs?"

Join us for Radical Welcome, a free four-session course for church leaders and leadership teams, exploring how we can become not just more inclusive, but radically welcoming.

📅 6 & 20 October, 3 & 17 November
🕢 7.30–8.30pm
📍 Christ Church Norris Green
👥 Open to churches of any denomination, size or tradition across the Diocese of Liverpool area
🎟️ Free to attend

Facilitated by Warren Hartley, using Radical Welcome materials from Inclusive Church.

Could your church, faith or community project benefit from a simpler way to measure and share your impact?

Our new digital Impact Reporting Tool is designed to help church, faith and community groups capture the difference their social action initiatives are making and tell their story with confidence.

Eight churches in Toxteth and Wavertree have begun Together Liverpool’s Learning Community programme, which helps faith groups grow and develop social action projects.

The churches are all part of Hope Parish Liverpool, a new Larger Single Parish. Over four Learning Community sessions they will explore the needs and strengths of their local areas, identify opportunities to support local people, and learn from one another.

This is the fifth Learning Community to be run by Together Liverpool. Previous Learning Communities have involved churches in Huyton, Sefton North, Sefton South and West Derby deanery.

"It’s really great for building community..." Our latest Story of Kindness features Clay Kitchen, a Near Neighbours Church Urban Fund-funded initiative delivered by Live Better Liverpool CIC, in partnership with St Michael's church in Liverpool, and others.

This ten-week course supported young people aged 16 to 25 to develop practical cooking skills, preparing meals for themselves and others while training for a food hygiene qualification.

Participants also took part in pottery sessions creating bowls and plates to serve their food on, shared meals together, and cooked for Micah Liverpool’s foodbank cafe.

The Manifesto for Hope was never intended to be just a document. It is an invitation to churches, communities, civic leaders and organisations to work together for the common good.

We're encouraged that Liverpool City Council has committed to exploring the Manifesto's priorities and strengthening partnership through an interfaith forum and future collaboration.

Together, we can continue building a more hopeful, just and compassionate Liverpool City Region.

We're delighted that Liverpool City Council has backed the Manifesto for Hope in our City Region.

A cross-party motion welcomed the Manifesto's nine priorities as a positive contribution to building a stronger, fairer and more hopeful Liverpool City Region. The Council also committed to explore how these priorities can help shape future partnership and action.

Developed by Churches Together in the Merseyside Region with Together Liverpool, the Manifesto for Hope is an invitation to work together for the common good.

This is an encouraging step that recognises the important role faith communities, civic leaders and local organisations can play in creating flourishing communities.
