Welcome to the web page for the East Northants Faith Group (ENFG)
The ENFG is the working name for the body representing all faith based groups in East Northamptonshire District Council area, in seeking to present issues of faith as they relate to our wider community. At present we represent 70 faith based groups from all branches of the main line Christian denominations, and we have a core membership of around 15 participating and supporting church groups. You are more than welcome to join us. Enquiries here.
As a body we seek to co-ordinate efforts from all faith based groups involved in social action and communtiy based endeavours. We are affiliated to Faithworks as a national body and are committed to working towards fulfilling the Faithworks Charter. This is a challenging commission to be actively engaged in our local communities, in a real and effective way, putting faith back into the heart of all of our communities.

In 2010 the ENFG launched the East Northants Community Services as a network to link and highlight the community impacting work of the Faith Groups in our region. Our 2009 community survey indicated that the value of services impacting the world was in excess of £13 million per year. The Faith sector is a major part of the Voluntary and Community Sector.
Rev. Mark Lees serves as the Development worker for the ENFG, and is a local church minister with a passion and a heart for seeing faith communities partner together to make a difference in this day in our society.
Vision: "To see ENFG develop into an effective and sustainable network to support and promote social action and community development initiatives undertaken by faith-based organisations"
