Growth Fund

Growth Fund

Visit our pages below to find out who has benefitted from the Growth Fund.  The Growth Fund is there to support our churches to engage creatively in mission.  As a diocese we are focused on Growing in God in depth, influence, number and younger, creating flourishing congregations making a difference (based on the Five Marks of Mission agreed by the Anglican Communion in 1984).
