Growing your Church

From building new worshipping communities to leading your church into growth...

Growth in our churches is crucial for the Church of England to achieve three priorities:

To become a church of missional disciples;

To be a church of mixed ecology;

To be a church that is younger and more diverse.

New Worshipping Communities
