The group is charged with the task of supporting and enabling local mission.
This happens in a variety of ways.
• Through the planning and running of day conferences on aspects of mission,
evangelism and parish development open to the churches of the diocese.
• Through supporting local churches involved in the Mission Weekends and
Growing Healthy Churches programmes as required.
•The group aids the Diocese in its reflection on and engagement with Fresh
Expressions of Church and pioneering ministries.
The group members read, discuss and share ideas and information about
mission and evangelism, thinking creatively and strategically about opportunities
for mission and evangelism within the diocese.
The group keeps a watching brief for developments in different ways of
being church and on emerging pioneer ministries.
