Why we are here…
“By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.”
It is likely you will not have heard of some of these. Come along to a regional group meeting or email us to find out more.
You will also notice a ?, we are aware there will be others we can work with and hope very much to continue growing our partnerships for the benefit of out members.
Our focus will always be on the people that lead in Major Parish Churches. We hope that by signposting you to these other organisations you are able to get the nuts and bolts accomplished, what we will bring is advocacy, sympathy and mutual understanding of what you are going through.
Our draft strategy document sets out our plans for the future and a pathway to bringing them to fruition. As a voluntary based organisation with the committee all full time incumbents or laity, our capacity is limited, but we believe in what we do and the powerful work that Major Parish Churches do in their communities.
The network relies on members to exist. It is planned to source funding to pump prime the organisation to allow us to pay a part time administrator to bring about the capacity we need.
The network will then be self funding by it’s members’ subscriptions.

We understand the lack of understanding there is out there of the challenges that are faced daily in the running a Major Parish Church.
It is the reason that our network exists and why our residentials and regional group meetings are so popular and needed.
As a leader in a Major Parish Church, your time, capacity and energy is limited. You know what you are struggling with and you may even know where you want to get too. The network’s role is to signpost you to the tools you need and to support you through peer to peer mentoring.
The picture shows the all the organisations that can help you fulfil the vision for your church.
The network is just one part of this web. We have built and are working to build relationships with all of these other outposts to either bring our members free or reduced rate membership or priority access to the benefits they can bring.
