In 2022 we asked all benefices in the diocese to produce a Plan for Growth with up to three priorities which express what they believe God is calling them to focus on in the next three to five years.
We have looked at your Plans for Growth to see if there were any common themes or areas that you need help with. Engaging with the community, working with children and young people, and growing deeper are the most common areas that benefices are focused on. Support with finance and buildings are what you identified you needed help with.
To support you we will be offering a number of drop-ins around the diocese to give you a chance for you to meet with us and tell us what support you need from diocesan staff
Each drop-in will run between 3pm and 6pm. Come when you like and talk to us. If you have a specific question you can email us in advance so we know what you need – please send your emails to Helen Prior-Townsend.
