Missional Toolkits
Free Toolkits to Support Your Church in Mission
Rural churches are at the very heart of their communities. Yet we know that it’s not always easy to find the right resources, encouragement, or ideas when seeking to share the good news of Jesus.
That’s why at Rural Missions, we’ve developed two practical, easy-to-use toolkits designed especially with rural churches in mind. These toolkits are not theory-heavy booklets, they are hands-on guides that help you start conversations, reflect honestly, and shape realistic next steps for mission.
Best of all, they are completely free of charge.
Missional Toolkit
A resource to help your church think prayerfully and practically about its calling in the local community. Whether you are just beginning to ask “what next?” or are already active in mission, this toolkit provides encouragement, questions to reflect on, and steps you can take together to move forward.
How to Use the Toolkits
Each toolkit is designed to be flexible. You might use it:
On your own – as a personal reflection resource
With a small group or leadership team – to spark conversation and share ideas
As a PCC/Church Council – to shape vision, make decisions, and plan next steps
We’ve deliberately created the toolkits so that they can be picked up and used straight away — no specialist training required.
How to Order
Ordering is simple. Simply visit our shop page, select the toolkit you’d like, add it to your basket, and proceed to checkout.
Both toolkits are completely free to order, you just cover postage and packing.
Alongside your order, you’ll also have the opportunity to make a contribution towards the costs of developing and sharing these resources. Every gift helps us keep them free for churches everywhere.
Go Deeper with Tailor-Made Support
The toolkits are a great starting point — but they are just that: a starting point. Many churches that use them quickly discover they would value some additional guidance.
That’s where our Tailor-Made Consultations come in. This is a completely free service where one of our team will walk with your church, helping you to:
Take a deeper look at your community’s unique needs
Recognise the gifts and opportunities you already have
Create a bespoke action plan for mission and ministry in your context
We’ve seen time and again that when churches take this step, it brings fresh clarity, renewed confidence, and exciting opportunities for God’s kingdom to grow in rural communities.
Why We Do This
At Rural Missions, everything we do is offered free of charge to local churches. That’s possible only because of the generosity of those who share our heart to see visible, vibrant, credible, and caring Christian communities across the countryside.
So whether you’re ordering a toolkit for your own reflection, for a PCC discussion, or to shape your church’s future mission — know that you are part of something bigger. And if you feel able to contribute, your support will help us equip even more churches across the UK.
