Sharing the good news of Jesus Christ must be the very heartbeat of FIEC churches. We want to invest in mission and evangelism to ensure that being an FIEC church is associated with being a gospel-driven church.
Resources
We produce resources to help church leaders think what evangelism might look like in their particular context. You can see the latest resources below.

A Passion for Life
In 2023, we established a formal partnership with the national charity and movement A Passion For Life.
The new director, Nick McQuaker, is a former FIEC pastor and keen champion of ensuring evangelism is at the heart of church life. More than a mission organisation, A Passion for Life seeks to help churches think about how to embed a mission-minded culture into the whole of church life, offering help with training, vision and planning.
You can find out more on the A Passion for Life website, including the aim of working towards a national mission at Easter 2026.
We also love telling stories of mission initiatives, like the ones below. You can find out about new stories we tell by signing up for our regular news emails or following us on social media.
