Our Word for 2026: Planted to Prosper
Taken from Psalm 1:3
“He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.” — Psalm 1:3
This is the year we are declaring, as a church, that we are being planted in the things of God, so that we may bear good fruit in the seasons to come.
Last year, we occupied and asked God to trust us with more. Now, many of us are walking in new territory, and with new territory comes a deeper level of submission to what God is calling and preparing us for next.
In 2026, we are being planted in His presence, rooted in His Word, and positioned to be effective, fruitful, and prosperous in the season ahead.
Motherhood Matters was founded by Tanya McNeish in October 2023, birthed from a deep conviction that when mothers are well, families and future generations thrive.
Tanya’s journey into ministry began over 15 years ago serving in Youth Ministry, where she developed a heart for raising young people grounded in the Word of God. In the wake of the pandemic, witnessing an even greater need for faith-filled support, Tanya went on to create Trailblazer Kids, a platform providing faith-based resources for children and teens.
In October 2023, everything came full circle. Tanya recognised a powerful truth: for our children and youth to be well, mothers must first be nurtured, strengthened, and supported. From this revelation, Motherhood Matters was born.
Motherhood Matters exists to gather, equip, and encourage mothers, reminding them of the vital role they play in raising the next generation in faith. What began as a vision has grown into a thriving community of over 200 women.
In 2025, Motherhood Matters expanded into in-person events, creating spaces where women are equipped and encouraged to mother well, just as Jesus calls us to.
Virtual meetings (open to all Mothers) are held Monday to Friday from 5:45-6:00am to start each day with community, prayer, and the Word of God.
Next in-person event will take place on Thursday 19th February 2026 and we can’t wait to gather again.

SERVANT OUTREACH!!!
In 2025, our word at Alive City Church was “Occupy.” While many were occupying new houses, cars, jobs, and business ventures, Servant Outreach was occupying the streets of London.
We felt led to spotlight this movement because it embodies so many of our culture codes. As we step into 2026, it is our goal to celebrate not only our members, but also the incredible good they are doing within our communities.
Servant Outreach, founded by our very own Chanel Radford in April 2025, was inspired by Mark 10:45—going out to serve vulnerable communities with compassion, humility, and love. Their work includes monthly outreach parcels containing fresh food, Bible scriptures, mental health support, and links to local community hubs.
They have supported communities in Dalston, Stratford, and Finsbury Park, and during the Christmas season, they also provided small gifts through their outreach on Oxford Street.
As Alive City Church, we have chosen to donate to this movement so it can continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus on the earth.
