Parish Vision

Our Vision is:

“To Grow God’s Kingdom through All Saints’ and Salutation, Blackwell”.

 

We believe God is calling us to do this by:

1.  Growing the Church
2.  Growing as Disciples
3.  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
