Transforming Church. Together.

We believe that the local church – the parish and new forms of church - is the genius of the Church of England. In the local, Christ’s love is offered to the reality of each place and every person. We long to see flourishing churches, which are representative of their communities, and where people are led by the Holy Spirit in growing the Kingdom of God. We pray for renewal and transformation of ourselves, our churches, and our society.
