The Trellis and the Vine

The Trellis and the Vine is an idea about how to organise church, from a book of the same name by Colin Marshall and Tony Payne.  The Vine is the growing congregations and ministries of the church – sharing the gospel message, worship, prayer, pastoral support and serving our communities. The Trellis is all the things that are needed to support the vine, to enable and not hinder its growth.  So this includes governance, policies such as safeguarding, finance and fundraising, communication and much more – have a look at the Trellis section of the website.  If you are passionate about using your gifts of administration to help Derby Urban Church, we’d love to hear from you.
