The Archbishop of York's Mission Enabling Team and Leading your Church into Growth present:

Leading your New Congregation into Growth (or your church plant, church graft, fresh expression or anything else you care to call it!)

Wednesday 23rd October 2024
Holy Trinity, Boar Lane, Leeds, LS1 6HW
£10pp
Bring your own lunch or buy locally. Holy Trinity Church is close to Leeds rail station and the Trinity shopping centre.

This day will bring together the best principles of leading your church into growth with the exciting challenge of starting new worshipping communities. The traditions will be diverse – from fresh expressions to new cathedral congregations, and everything in between. The training will be practical, the stories will be hopeful, and the welcome will be warm.

Starting from scratch and growing...
Church growth and planting as part of a healthy mixed ecology
Creating a culture of evangelism in new plants, grafts and worshipping communities
Considering contextual mission

With:
Robin Gamble: Director of Leading Your Church into Growth
Paul Pavlou:  Author of Journal of a Church Planter
Sarah Maughan: Rector of Thurnscoe in the Diocese of Sheffield
Julia Wilkins: Rector of Bramley
Harry Steele: Leading your Church into Growth team member
