Inspired North East

Exploring sustainable futures for church buildings serving
congregations and communities

Inspired North East is working across Durham Diocese supporting local church congregations considering a church development project.

A professional and practical project to help church communities build a viable future for their buildings – it offers:

information and support
help in thinking about wider community uses of the church building
ideas about improving visitor welcome
advice in seeking external funding.

Inspired NE is about understanding that church buildings are:

for sharing with everyone, of all ages and abilities,
for worship and nurture of faith,
for cultural events,
for community and learning activities,
for welcoming strangers, and
for telling the story of people and place.

The project has officers in both Durham and Newcastle Dioceses working together sharing their skills across the North East’s churches
