District Mission Enabler

Mission is not about a technique or a set of programmes. It is about allowing ourselves to be caught up in the mission of God and to be conduits through which his love can flow to touch and transform others.

Fresh Expressions Pioneer

Over the past decade churches have realised the need to do church in a way which is culturally relevant. This is not to decry traditional forms of church and worship but simply to recognise that we live in a country which has 'stopped coming to church'.
