IBEX - Churches working with the Economy
Mission
Based on the South Coast, our purpose is to communicate, challenge and share good practice in Chaplaincy and other core activities.
​
Faith communities have an enormous part to play in the creation of the fabric of society.
​
IBEX supports churches and the community by looking at both ends of the spectrum: from a faith and economic perspective.
​
We implement our mission through four key objectives:
