In recent years, hundreds of new churches have been formed. These 'fresh expressions' are aiming to create church among people who have never belonged to a church, or who once did, but belong no more.
Share booklets want to encourage good conversations about starting these new churches, without telling you what to do. Visit sharetheguide.org to tell others about your experiences of fresh expressions of church.

Recommendations
One of the key aspects of mission engagement is discernment. This booklet series will help you to consider your mission heart, your mission team, your mission values and your mission focus. It is a must in the process of listening to God in mission, a vital resource for potential pioneers.
Francis Brienen, Secretary for Mission, United Reformed Church
Another great resource from the Fresh Expressions team which should be welcomed by all involved with pioneering – the booklets in this series are intensely practical and an invaluable addition to the toolkit of anyone who takes contemporary mission seriously.
Ian Bell, Coordinator, VentureFX, Methodist Church
These booklets are a simple starter kit to put in the hands of pioneers. They are full to the brim of ideas, practical wisdom and stories. They will help you to catch a vision, take the first steps together and sustain new communities of faith for those outside the churches.
Steven Croft, Bishop of Sheffield
It's about time someone distilled the wisdom learned through fresh expressions into a format that is simple, practical and not overly prescriptive. The Share booklets seem to be exactly that - what a great idea!
Jonny Baker, pioneer mission leadership team, cms
If you would like to start a fresh expression of church but don't know where to begin, these booklets are for you. Learning from the experience of those who are already involved, they provide guidelines without being prescriptive, encouraging readers to be open to whatever new thing the Spirit might be doing.
