Church of England parishes to receive funds for renewal and revitalization
[Church of England] Nearly $58 million has been earmarked by the Church of England for work to spread the Christian faith across the country, including a program to renew and revitalize parishes, new congregations in churches, and church and school partnerships.
The Strategic Mission and Ministry Investment Board awarded grants to the Dioceses of Southwell and Nottingham, Lichfield, Portsmouth and Birmingham for mission lasting up to a decade in urban, rural and deprived post-industrial areas. The awards back the Church of England’s vision for a younger and more diverse church.
The funding includes support for parish revitalizations, church and school partnerships, and new congregations within parishes. The grants will fund children’s and youth workers and lay and ordained leaders, as well as existing worship in all traditions.
