Dales Faith – Growing faith in community
Dales Faith is a Christian community project based in and around the North Yorkshire Dales area and centred in Bedale.
“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Jeremiah 6:16)
If life is a journey then our hope is that in Dales Faith you will find traveling companions to walk the road with, to encourage you in the day-to-day, to lift you through life’s hardest places, and to share with you its brightest moments and the best views.
Our vision is to see God grow his Church in and around the North Yorkshire Dales area by enabling the growth of ‘church-without-walls’, a non-congregational expression of God’s Kingdom, and by encouraging and equipping those who connect with Dales Faith to gather together in groups where they live and to network with other individuals, communities, missional projects, worship events, teaching opportunities, and centres of resource.
We do this by engaging with people – online, through social media, and face to face ; by encouraging them – in our walk with Jesus; by equipping them – to be more faithful and fruitful disciples; and by empowering them – through the power in prayer.
(1 Corinthians 15:1-5; Col 4:8; Eph 4:11-12; Col 1:9-11)

If your gift is poetry or prose, prayers or reflections, writing or painting then maybe you might be willing to share it with others through our Community Contributions. Here’s how…
