TOWARDS A VISION PCC VISION STATEMENT as adopted 26th April 2007
Where do we want to be in five years from now? We are looking for a Church that is:- 1) steadily growing in numbers, in faith, and in witness; 2) working in close harmony with our ecumenical partners at Holy Trinity Church and in fellowship with other Christian congregations meeting locally; 3) recognised as playing a significant rôle in the life of our town and mindful of the concerns of the world beyond; 4) relevant to people at every point in their life, with attractive and flexible patterns of worship plus a good range of activities and initiatives for all age groups; 5) closely and clearly linked to the town-wide ministry of priest and people, with ‘stepping stones’ to draw in residents who have “met a Christian but not yet encountered the Church”; 6) well equipped to magnify even the briefest interaction with individuals who can offer only a limited degree of ‘involvement’ on account of the many other and equally valid demands upon their time and talents; 7) adequately resourced with a trained and committed parish ministry team, mostly self-supporting, including some personnel shared with other organisations so as to ensure maximum deployment of ‘niche’ competencies such as those relating to the young, the elderly, industry, healthcare, counselling, evangelism, spirituality, parenting, schools, music-making, etc., 8) offering support, encouragement and comfort to its members and friends in ways that are structured yet not intrusive, e.g. through systematic pastoral contact and pro-active welfare work; 9) built upon the gifts of the whole membership, with distributed leadership, organic development, a high degree of self-regulation and mutual awareness through ever wider ownership of our shared vision. | |
