At Envision Manchester, we exist to identify and develop missional leaders while partnering with the local church. That means that we seek to serve our communities, while bringing people just like you along for the ride. In Manchester we partner with a range of local Kingdom minded ministries in order to support what God has already started in our city.
Here's what we do together with our partners
Coffee community
Join us in serving coffee and providing a neutral third-space for for seekers and believers to meet. The Giving Tree cafe is also home to ESL classes and other university events. Your help in the cafe enables all kinds of ministry to flow from this central Manchester location.
University students
Home to over 100,000 university students, many are home sick, wanting community or just looking for a friend. All around the city we partner with like-minded ministries to receive these students and show hospitality and radical generosity to these friends as we use our lives and relationships to show Jesus to them.
Artists and creatives
Beauty invites us in, capturing our attention and making us want to linger ... They inspire—or even demand—a response, whether sharing them in community or acting to extend their beauty into other spheres. - Makoto Fujimura, Culture Care
At Envision Manchester we are constantly looking for ways to promote artists and creatives who help our community to see beauty all around us.
Service to the homeless
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him. - Proverbs 14:31
Manchester has its fair share of poor and homeless peoples. We don't want to pass then by, but help where we can. Together with our partners we help to provide many different services to the homeless community of Greater Manchester.
Three ways to serve with us
Short Term Teams
Our short-term trips are a great opportunity for your group to increase cross-cultural awareness as you partner with us in ministry. These trips are designed to help you develop vision, provide opportunities for you to serve the community in meaningful ways, and to strengthen partnerships between communities of faith in the U.S. and Manchester.
Group sizes can range from 6-12 persons. Our trips cost $1,445 per person for a ten day trip, plus airfare. We have a limited number of slots available for teams each year, so don’t delay in contacting us if you’re interested!
Internships
Learning and serving as an Envision Manchester intern is a great way to develop cross-cultural awareness, explore global missions, and experience spiritual formation while discerning what God might have for you long-term. Of course, you’ll also be serving alongside one or more of our partners.
Internships can last for as little as 1 month or up to 11 months and cost $2,095 per month, plus airfare.
Residency
This two year residency program equips International Worker candidates and prepares them for long-term service with Alliance Missions. This is intended for those who would like to prepare for overseas ministry while acquiring cross-cultural awareness and exploring global missions.
