The Sheffield Centre, part of Church Army Information

Welcome to the Sheffield Centre, Church Army's research unit. We are a small research department based at the Church Army head office in Sheffield. Our role is to discern what God is doing in Mission in the UK and communicate that with the wider church. We largely work with Anglican Churches and partners, but by no means exclusively. Revd Dr George Lings is the Director and has been since its inception in 1997. In changing times organisations need to be research-led in strategic decision making, today's church is no different. The Sheffield Centre, founded in 1997, plays a vital research role. Our task is to observe and communicate what God is doing in mission to the wider church. Like offering seeds for others to sow. We research church planting, evangelism to post-Christian culture, mission amongst older people and other things that come our way... leaving room for God to surprise us! We offer consultancy and resources in these areas too.
