Edge Leaders Training
Welcome!
How do I set something like this up?
The Edge Faith Community in Chesterfield operates a number of centres that exist to impact communities with practical help, relevant projects, support and advice. They are run by an amazing group of volunteers and members of our faith community who are committed to be Jesus’ hands and feet.
Whilst there is only one Edge Faith community (in Derbyshire, with a few strategic hubs around the UK in development) we also have a network of churches and associate faith communities that practice elements of what we do.
Here are some short videos which we hope are helpful. We’ll be regularly adding to these and producing more resources as we go along.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to chat through any questions you might have.
How to start an Edge community
What is stuff we do?
Our discipleship structure explained. We call it “Stuff we do”
I’ll ask Jesus to guide my daily decisions
I’ll be generous with my words and my stuff
I’ll love others like Jesus loves me
I’ll read my bible and try my best to live it out with the Holy Spirits help.
Then we leave space for two or three of our own.
What is an Edge open living room?
A short video that introduces the idea of having an “open living room.” A place of constant hospitality and welcome. A place where you would in time also begin to operate various support services supplied by Edge Ministries and our partners. Also the place where you would establish an Edge Community.
What is an Edge Community?
We have fused the best of what we have seen. The ethos, values and culture of an Edge Community are described and unpacked here.
What is an Edge Centre?
An Edge centre is a “conception to grave” rescue centre that works alongside an Edge Community
What does an Edge Community Evening look like?
We can many questions about these evenings. They are wonderfully fruitful in engaging in mission, discipleship and pastoral care. In this brief video we unpack how they run. Whilst not prescriptive, we have found a structure that words really well.
How many people do we need?
You’ll be surprised how few people you do need to get going.

And the table points to Christ.
