Church Connect
The primary goal of Faith Roots is to help schools & churches build meaningful connections in their local area. By providing genuine Christian input to your curriculum RE, trained church volunteer teams bring with them the excitement & novelty of being regular visitors to your school, offering a wide variety of fun and engaging activities.
​
Faith Roots may already be working with your local church, or would be very happy to begin conversations on availability of volunteers and training. If your workshop is required more urgently, we can provide School Visit workshops in the interim.
