SIGNPOSTS for Rural Mission & Ministry

This is a resource for anyone involved in mission, ministry or training related to the rural church. It describes and evaluates a wide range of resources, materials & training that are already proving their worth to rural church practitioners; though a considerable number may not be very widely known. We have tried to provide as much information as possible, including links to more information or access online wherever this is available.

Not all the material included here is specifically rural in content or focus, but even this more generic material has been of use in rural situations. An attempt has been made to indicate how such examples are helpful for rural practitioners.

Two categories of material are included:

KEY material for rural mission & ministry, which is a priority for rural practitioners in the various areas covered

OTHER material, which is not a priority but nevertheless provides helpful additional resourcing or training.

Both these categories can be searched separately, and a full list of each can be downloaded separately.

If you believe there are important omissions or errors in SIGNPOSTS, do let us know – including as much information as possible so we can make corrections or create new entries. This resource will be regularly updated in any case.

For queries, or suggestions for additional material, please contact the Training and Resources Officer on 024 7685 3068 or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
