Steadfast in Scripture

‘Understand the times, know what to do’ (1 Chronicles 12:32)

Scripture is the way of the disciple and the standard of the church.

God’s Word is foundational to our faith and life as followers of Jesus Christ. Being steadfast in Scripture means remaining firmly rooted in its truth, allowing it to shape our understanding, guide our lives and inform our response to the world around us. We believe God calls us not only to understand His written Word, but also to understand the times in which we live, so that we may respond faithfully.

Our vision is of an ‘observatory’ or ‘watchtower’, understanding the times in the light of Scripture and applying God’s Word to contemporary issues and challenges. Through biblical teaching, study and resources, we seek to strengthen and encourage Christians and fellowships across rural Britain.

Village Link Online

Our Substack site, Village Link Online, is the main way we share insights and understanding of scripture and current issues. Here you will find bible-centred articles on rural life and faith, mission and ministry, news and notices of events, and much else.

Agriculture and Theology Project

The ‘Agriculture and Theology Project’ (ATP) was initiated by the Agricultural Christian Fellowship (ACF), in partnership with several other ministries, more than 25 years ago. It ran for some 15 years. Village Hope is now partnering with ACF to re-launch the project, which aims to develop and publish in-depth biblical and theological insights on farming and the land.
