The Further Faster Network

The Further Faster Network is a United Kingdom-based nonprofit organization and registered charity (charity number 1186278) focused on supporting church leaders and fostering the growth of churches across England and Wales. It operates as a charitable incorporated organization to provide coaching, community, and content aimed at helping church leaders effectively reach and engage unchurched populations in their local communities.

Purpose and Activities

The primary purpose of the Further Faster Network is to assist churches in becoming more vibrant and relevant within their communities by prioritizing outreach to unchurched individuals. The organization achieves this by:

• Offering coaching programs tailored for church leaders to develop skills and strategies for growth.
• Building a supportive community of like-minded leaders working collaboratively toward church revitalization.
• Providing informational resources and advocacy to empower churches in their mission.

The charity emphasizes creating churches that unchurched people find appealing and accessible, aiming to reverse the decline observed in church attendance and engagement within the UK and Ireland. This vision is encapsulated in their commitment to leading churches that prioritize reaching new people over simply serving those already involved[1][2][3][4].

Approach

The Further Faster Network is built on what it calls the "5 Foundations," a framework guiding churches to grow by becoming more attractive and relevant to their communities. Leaders who join the network gain access to structured support, including coaching and content designed to implement these foundational principles and see tangible growth in their congregations[1][4].
