Everyday Faith is the new daily devotional app from the Church of England designed to inspire, equip and encourage growth in faith every day of the week, not just on Sundays.

The app aims to help individuals to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the whole of life.

It provides carefully curated daily reflections, including selected Bible readings, a simple prayer for the day ahead, and thoughts based on that week's theme.

The app builds on the success of the Everyday Faith portal, and supports the CofE's vision of becoming a church of missionary disciples, resourcing individuals to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in the whole of life.

This version of the app also responds to overwhelming demand from our users for an app that delivers inspirational reflections year-round, rather than focussed on seasonal content during Lent and Advent.

The idea is to create a space encouraging Christians to grow in their faith daily and it is hoped this can be an encouragement to local church leaders and to church congregants and help all who use it.

Everyday Faith is about where and how we encounter God as we go about our lives.

Where is God in our daily lives? How do we find God in the fullness of everyday life?

Whether you wish to develop your faith or support others in theirs, Everyday Faith is designed to support you in your life discipleship or vocational journey.

Our Christian life is so much more than how we gather together on Sunday.

We are Christians in our working lives, as nurses, students, hairdressers, engineers, carers, managers, bus drivers, volunteers... We are Christians in our homes and families, as parents, grandparents, children, friends and neighbours.

We are Christians as we do the weekly shop, walk the dog, work out at the gym, do the school run, meet with book club, play football and go to the pub.

We are Christians whoever and wherever we are - that is Everyday Faith - and this series of videos will explore how faith helps ordinary people in their ordinary, everyday lives.

What's your story?

In the Diocese of Derby, we are asking people to share their Everyday stories - we would love to hear stories of people’s real lives, the impact that faith has on who they are and what they do and how churches support them as they live out their faith.

We want to hear stories from people of all ages and backgrounds - sharing your story of how your faith helps you in your daily life helps inspire, encourage and reassure others.

To share your story, drop us a line at ideas@derby.anglican.org

Let’s all get talking about our Everyday Faith!

Everyday Faith is about enabling the whole people of God to live out the Good News of Jesus confidently in the whole of life, Sunday to Saturday.

The 2017 Church of England Report Setting God’s People Free highlighted that 98% of the Church is lay rather than ordained and that these everyday followers spend 95% of their time outside of church activities.

The Church of England has undertaken a concerted effort to adapt and change our culture of ‘doing church’ in order to release fresh imagination and energy for ‘being Church.’

Across the country, hundreds of worshipping communities have been trying out various ways to achieve this culture shift, focussing on what makes a real difference in supporting an everyday faith in people’s everyday lives.
