Overview

Vision 2026 is an agenda for growth and change agreed by the Blackburn Diocesan Synod in 2015. It challenges our parishes to be healthy churches which can transform the communities in which they are set. It also lays out three ways in which this over-arching goal can be achieved: Making Disciples, Being Witnesses and Growing Leaders. Against a backdrop in which many Christians presume that the decline of the Church is inevitable, in the Diocese of Blackburn we are inspired instead by confidence in the Gospel and are ambitious in our desire to make new disciples for Jesus Christ.

 

We are seeking a Vision Co-ordinator of deep faith, and Gospel ambition who shares our vision of growing the Kingdom in Lancashire and who can bring to us strategic insight, challenge and the capacity to lift ideas and projects off the page.
