MISSIONAL PROPERTY for growing, inclusive, evangelistic, justice-seeking churches
Our vision: for property to be consistently seen as an asset which can be confidently used to resource growing, inclusive, evangelistic, justice-seeking churches.
Strategic decision making about investment in property:
- New churches – property projects will be aligned to the agreed vision and purpose
- Flourishing churches – property projects will be aligned to agreed growth plan
- Ending well – chapels which have previously been used by congregations which are Ending Well will always be thoroughly evaluated to discern their future based on their missional, community and financial value. District guidance will be made available to facilitate this process, including the justice-seeking implications and interaction with the new residential lettings vision.
- Circuit mission plans – in churches where it is not appropriate for the local congregation to invest time in writing a long term growth plan (for example churches exploring revitalising or ending well), decisions about investment and capital repairs will be informed by agreed circuit mission plan
Property grants of up to £20k will continue to be offered for major property schemes. Find out how
Implementation of this vision will be overseen by our Property & Mission Support Team
