God is in the business of transforming individuals and communities and we have the joyful privilege of joining in.
Following much prayer and discussion, including contributions from over 2,000 people across the diocese through a survey and feedback sessions, our Diocesan Vision and Growth Strategy will draw together all that we are seeking to do across the Diocese of Guildford, bringing greater focus to areas of mission opportunity.
The strategy isn’t intended to add to the workload of hard-pressed clergy or church members, nor is it being advanced as a magic solution to the various challenges we face. However, it does start with the conviction that God is still at work in the world He loves so much, and that it is entirely possible to reverse the narrative of a slowly declining and ageing church.
So what comes next? You will hear about it on the launch date 24/25th September and you can keep up-to-date by checking in on the diocesan website, Facebook, Twitter and regular diocesan communications channels.
