In addition, during 2024 the PCC also asked the bigger question: 'How can we best shape our
resoiffces andshape the parish io take Opportunili￿f0r growih L7nd move our vision
forward? ' The PCC agreed that more substantial chang¢ beyond the regular ministy
activities of the church was needeiL but wanted to discover what that change might be. Et
agreed to approach an external consultant to ask for help with a parish rcview, working
towards the following brief: 'FYe wanl to have a slnictiffg of ihepartsh which is boih
suslainablefinancialty in the medium-long ierm. but which also Is the most effective 'base'
from which ro do mtnisty (i.e.. discipleship and evangelism)for the long-term grow¢h of
God's kingdom. Ive need to knoH' what we should do today to ensure ihere is a thriving
church in 40years' lime, topass lo th¢ nexi generations.
