What is Commitment for Life?

Find out more about Commitment for Life and how your church can join and make a difference to vulnerable communities.

What happens when your church joins?

You choose which region to support and receive updates and resources about it.

The three regions are:

Each church appoints a Commitment for Life link person. Through your link person, your church receives Moving Stories six times a year together with three mailings a year.

Mailings include:

  • News about your region
  • Posters and leaflets
  • Opportunities to give
  • Worship resources
  • Latest information on campaigns
  • Ideas for prayer, services and action

We encourage you to hold an annual Commitment for Life service. Share more about the partners in your chosen region.

Giving
