The Fountain of Life is a missionary congregation of the Church of England. We exist to provide a strong spiritual base from which to re-evangelise the surrounding area.
We are called to be at the cutting edge in mission to bring people into the kingdom of God and make disciples; to create a community in which people can find belonging; and to provide a base from which to resource non-parochial missionary activities within the Church of England across the Diocese of Norwich.
