Serving Christ and the community by encouraging, facilitating, and supporting inter-church initiatives.
Farnham Churches Support, the new working name of Farnham Christian Community Trust (FCCT), was originally started in 2000 as a company limited by guarantee, and a registered charity, whose aim was to release the dreams and visions of Christians in Farnham.
More recently it has become a framework for inter-church collaborative projects in Farnham, and currently supports Farnham Foodbank, Frontline Farnham (Debt & Benefits Advice), Signposts Schools Work, Friends Together Bereavement Support, Caring Families Together and Family Support, among other interchurch initiatives such as Love in Action Prayer Events and town-wide mission events.
Since starting in 2000 the charity has supported a number of projects to get off the ground including Farnham Parenting, Farnham ASSIST and Farnham Local Food Initiative, as well as many other small projects supporting the community children and youth in Farnham.
Farnham Churches Support provides a legal & charitable framework for projects. This means projects don’t have the expense and effort needed to keep their own charity afloat, and means inter-church projects don’t have to reside within a single church's charitable framework. The charity can provide all that is needed to safely support projects. Our goal is to free projects to focus on what they are passionate about and therefore more easily be salt and light in our community!
A group of Trustees and staff oversee the legal responsibilities of the Charity, such as; company and charity accounts, policies or procedures, leases and contracts, employment and governance, memberships of professional / legal bodies and insurances.
If you have an idea for an inter-church initiative and you think Farnham Churches Support could support you, please do get in touch with us at office@farnhamchurches.support
