About Good Fruit Heritage
01What is Good Fruit Heritage?
Good Fruit Heritage is a Christian community initiative that recognises good deeds, shares testimonies and encourages faith, fellowship and practical care. The Fruit of the Spirit Tree preserves stories of goodness for the community and the next generation.
02What are the nine fruit qualities?
The Tree celebrates Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faith, Gentleness and Self-Control. Each fruit quality has its own page with Scripture and examples to help you reflect on the good you see in someone’s life.
Joining & Membership
03Is it free to join?
Yes. Adults aged 18 or over can join as Free Subscribers. You receive a dashboard and can browse Fellow photos, names and fruit qualities, and start a nomination. The one-time nomination administration fee is separate from free membership.
04Where can I find my e-books?
Sign in and check the resources section of your dashboard. E-books are private and appear only when GFH has approved and enabled the resource for your membership or nomination. The GFH World English Bible edition adds introductory pages while preserving the Bible text. If an expected resource is not shown, contact the team; availability is not guaranteed until it has been enabled.
Nominations
05How do I nominate someone?
Sign in, open the nomination form, choose the nominee category and fruit, and describe the good deed. Your testimony can be up to 1,000 characters and certificate wording up to 150 characters. Complete your details and declaration. A living nominee completes their own section and consent; a resting nominee receives no invitation. Once the required sections are complete, payment comes before GFH’s approval review. Follow progress in your dashboard.
06Can I nominate myself?
Yes. Choose self-nomination in the form. You are both the Nominator and the Nominee, so you must complete both sections and the required declarations. The same fee and GFH approval process apply. The Tree page explains the benefits attached to each role.
07Can I nominate someone who has passed away?
Yes. Select R — Resting / deceased. No invitation is sent to the nominee. Complete the required information and your declarations, including permission for any material you provide. If the person already had a Free Subscriber account, indicate this in the form so GFH can review whether the recognition should be linked to that existing profile.
08What if the nominee already has a Free Subscriber account?
Select the existing Free Subscriber option and provide the account email in either nominee category. A living nominee signs in to their existing account to complete their section. For a resting nominee, an administrator checks the matching identity and confirms the link before approval. Selecting the option alone does not merge accounts or create a second profile.
09How much does a nomination cost?
The one-time administration fee is £1 including VAT per completed nomination. It is not a recurring membership subscription. Payment follows the required declarations and comes before GFH review. A rejected paid nomination receives a full refund, processed manually by GFH. After approval, the administration fee is non-refundable. Check your dashboard for payment status.
10What must a living nominee agree to?
The nominee reviews the testimony and their details, reads the Nominee Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, types their signature and accepts all seven declarations in their section. The form explains accuracy, age, consent, image permission and directory publication. Self-nominees complete this step too. Contact GFH if you need help understanding a declaration before signing.
Fellows & Certificates
11When will the Fellow receive a certificate?
After GFH approves the nomination, the recognition includes a Gold Certificate and a Fellow badge. Eligible signed-in members can access the recognition documents through their dashboard or the Fellow profile, subject to access permissions. The nominator also receives a thank-you card. Contact GFH for information about Platinum and Diamond recognition.
12Who can see a Fellow’s story and who nominated them?
Public visitors see a limited preview. Free Subscribers can browse photos, names and fruit qualities; eligible Fellows have access to fuller stories according to the site’s permissions and profile settings. Nominator attribution appears with the recognition. Use the small search bar or Tree search to find a person by first name and see their nominator. Contact GFH to request profile or media removal.
Events, Coaching & Support
13How can I take part in events or share my story?
Visit Engagement & Storytelling Events to explore community stories and send an event or storytelling enquiry. The Events page includes the regular fellowship programme and UK times. Ask GFH for the next gathering’s confirmed date, time and joining details. If you want to share a story or photograph, tell the team what you would like to contribute and only send material you have permission to share.
14How do I arrange a free coaching discovery call?
Visit Coaching to explore Life Coaching and Kingdom Coaching. Until live booking is connected, the clearly labelled demo calendar lets you try sample dates and times; it does not book an appointment or send a confirmation email. Use Contact the coaching team to arrange a real discovery call. The conversation is free and has no obligation to enrol. Before any six-month programme begins, GFH confirms the sessions, monthly price and schedule in writing. Sending an enquiry does not confirm an appointment or enrol you.
15Where can I find Bible guidance or send a prayer request?
The Biblical Problem Solver organises life questions with Bible references for reading and reflection. The Prayers and Repentance page includes prayers you can read in your own time. You can also send the GFH team a prayer request through the contact form.
Have another question?
The GFH team can help with an individual nomination, an upcoming gathering or a question about the community.
