OUR VISION
Parish Renewal
Providing direct support for parish renewal is central to our work together. Our prayer and goal is to bring more people to faith in Jesus Christ and increase church attendance by a third over the next ten years. We are working closely with our parishes to understand the opportunities and challenges they face and secure their missional and financial future.
Mission communities are key to this, enabling parishes to work together in serving their congregations and bringing new people to faith. Clergy deployment, parochial reorganisation and supporting our most fragile churches are important strands of this work. We are also strengthening the support we provide to church officers with training, resources and new technology.
