There are three particular areas of growth core to our vision and strategy that we must particularly focus on supporting:
• investing in ministry—supporting and nurturing lay and clergy to fulfil our baptismal covenant.
• serving communities—learning about the needs, partnering for mission and building the Kingdom of God in our neighbourhoods.
• mission driven stewardship—being faithfully led in our use of time, talent and treasure, recognizing that everything comes from our relationship with God.
