St Agatha Llanymynech: Mission Action Plan

Our Mission Action Plans reflect the 7 marks of a healthy church which are: Energised by faith; outward looking focus; seeks to find what God wants; faces the cost of change and growth; builds community; makes room for others; does a few things and does them well.

PUTTING PARISHES FIRST…

1: Discovering the heart of God

As part of Daily Offices: prayers to discern our place in God's mission
Regular monitoring and review of worship liturgy so that remains relevant to the community
Investigate and Establish a Messy Church programme

Develop a system of oversight and care to members of the congregation
Envision and encourage congregation, through training, to be bold in doing God's work
Start a new House Group aimed at seekers and questioners


3: Reaching New Generations

Continue to develop links with schools and uniformed organisations
Encourage some of our Junior Children to become Servers / Acolytes


4: Transforming Communities
