What is Faith in the North?
Faith in the North looks to encourage a movement of prayer, storytelling and church planting inspired by the Northern Saints.
The Lord’s Prayer
Faith in the North is encouraging and resourcing churches and schools to explore The Lord’s Prayer afresh in 2025, particularly recognising it not just as something that helps us to pray but also to live well.
The following pages have resources and ideas for schools and churches.
Church Planting
Working with Northern dioceses, we want to see many churches revitalised and new Christian communities planted. We are praying and working towards a goal of 3,000 new communities across the region.
Our enabling team is working to support leaders, share good practice and unlock further growth across the North.
The Lord’s Prayer Tour
During 2025 and early 2026 Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York is undertaking a tour across the North of England, sharing the meaning and significance of the Lord’s Prayer. He will speak about the ongoing relevance of the Lord’s Prayer in today’s world, encouraging everyone to live by its powerful, transformative words. This tour is part of a broader effort to renew faith and mission across the North of England.
The tour began on Friday 7 March at a service of Evensong at York Minster.
