Our Discerning
Vision (for five years' time)
We want to be congregations which are integral parts of the communities in which they are situated. We would like our buildings to become more flexible and to be used more frequently.
Priorities (for the next five years)
- To grow leaders.
- To examine the layout of Brickendon Church re making it a good space for Quiet Days.
- To grow in faith.
Goals (for the next year)
- To grow more leaders for the Bayford Sunday Club so that this may become a weekly event.
- To put in a sound system at Bayford Church.
- To encourage a regular service plan and more lay leaders to assist.
- To ensure that Brickendon Church is 'on the map'.
- Group noticeboards for Bayford and Brickendon Churches.
