Current Renewal Projects 2023-2030

One of our four priorities up to 2030 is focused on renewals.

We plan to renew around 12 churches across the Diocese so that every major population area has at least one larger church with 150 weekly attendees. These churches will then support neighbouring congregations. Renewal leaders have been recruited to set out their visions for these renewal projects, using national funding from the Strategic Mission and Ministry Investment Board.
