These are a few examples of organisations we work with, seek to support and receive help from.
The Alpha Course - A course designed to explain the Christian faith, giving the opportunity for people to ask questions, and find answers in a friendly environment.
Barnabas has been running Alpha twice a year for about ten years now, and it has been hugely popular. We have received excellent training and resources from Alpha over the years, including publicity, conferences and videos / DVD of the course which we use on the away day.
Although we share the same name Barnabas Fund and Barnabas Community Church are entirely separate entities! We do however support the work of the Barnabas Fund.
Barnabas Fund serves the suffering Church and makes their needs known to Christians around the world, encouraging them to pray. It provides practical help to strengthen and encourage the Church in many different ways. Barnabas Fund was established in 1993 and channels aid to projects run by national Christians in more than 40 countries.
The problems faced by Christian minorities in some parts of the world range from discrimination to genocide.

BREADtrust started when a couple from the Church felt God prompt them to "Share your bread with the hungry" BREADtrust has sent many container lorries for former soviet bloc states, especially Ukraine. They are now concentrating on fundraising, as they continue funding a feeding programme and other initiatives in Ukraine. BREAD is currently run by Ray & Beryl Green from North Shrewsbury Community Church.
