Empowering Deanery Communities for Holistic Growth
This plan outlines a strategic approach to enhance community engagement, outreach, and service provision within the deanery. It includes key themes such as youth work, church partnerships, training for church roles, and initiatives like The Warm Welcome and Mental Health cafes. By focusing on opening up churches, reviewing websites, and responding to new housing developments, the aim is to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for all. Through coordinated efforts, the deanery seeks to strengthen its mission, discipleship, stewardship, and apostolic partnerships.
