Make !Audacious Home and discover a place where you are seen, known and loved. Become part of a community where friends are made, help is found, support is given and FAITH grows!

Be Planted

You are a part of a growing vibrant Church, one that stops the traffic; it’s wildly authentic, fearlessly devoted, fiercely determined & seriously fun. A church that stops the traffic is numerically so large that we transform our communities one person at a time. We are committed to empowering every person to make a positive difference in their world by demonstrating an extraordinary God.

Be at home

As we GROW bigger we know that we have to GO smaller. We want everyone to feel supported, cared for, encouraged and connected. We want to help YOU be the difference in your world and to be in a HOME – an environment where you can thrive. To create this ‘small’ we have established a team of Pastors to help with the leadership and pastoral care across the life of !Audacious church. These amazing people are your Pastors, men and women who are there to help you thrive.

Be Connected

In order to make what is big, small, we have split Manchester into geographical AREAS; Central, North, East, South & West. Each area has an Area Pastor and then the Area is split into Regions with a Regional Pastor and then within each Region there are Small groups led by small group leaders. In a nutshell your pastoral care comes from your Area Pastor, Regional Pastor and Small group Leader.
We encourage everyone to be part of a small group as this is where your pastoral care begins and it’s the best place to build life giving relationships. If you are not part of a small group find out more and join one today by going to audaciouschurch.com/smallgroups
