Our Vision is:
“To Grow God’s Kingdom through All Saints’ and Salutation, Blackwell”.
We believe God is calling us to do this by:
- Growing the Church
- Growing as Disciples
- Growing in Service to the parish and beyond
Our aim is to nurture this growth in the following ways:
Growing the Church - we plan to care for members of the existing congregation and attract new people by developing:
- Communication within and beyond our congregations
- Welcome and an inclusive ethos
- Fellowship opportunities for everyone
- Outreach to the whole community
Growing as Disciples - we plan to offer appropriate help to those seeking to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, fostering a clearer sense of personal vocation, by developing:
- Worship - by making it as good as possible and meeting the needs of as many people as possible
- Prayer - both private and corporate, by appropriate and imaginative support and encouragement
- Home Groups - for all who desire them
- Learning - by offering a variety of opportunities that respond to needs
Growing in Service to the parish and beyond - we plan, as the parish church, and working where possible in partnership with others, to serve the needs of this parish and the wider world through the five aims of mission:
- Practical needs of local people
- Particular needs of people aged between 18 and 30
- Pastoral needs of all ages
- Challenges of injustice
- Challenge to care for God’s Creation
