Growing in God is the Diocesan Vision for Growth

‘Growing in God’ encourages individuals and church communities across the diocese to become more engaged in God’s loving involvement in the world by highlighting four priorities.

Our Four Priorities

 Growing in Depth – responding to the call of Christ in every part of our lives

 Growing in Number – drawing contacts we have into the life of God’s kingdom

 Growing in Influence – reaching beyond ourselves in our impact on the wider world

 Growing Younger – building churches whose age range reflects our communities

Across Beccles Parish we are engaging with this vision and seeking to grow in the above areas.

At St Michael’s we have committed to work on the following over the coming months

 Growing in Depth - Develop and maintain follow up links with baptism families

 Growing Younger - Offer a visible welcome to children and young people

 Growing Younger - Introduce a new monthly interactive service for all ages

At St Luke’s we have committed to work on the following over the coming months

 Growing in Depth - To set up a regular, mid-week, themed Bible study and prayer group

 Growing in Influence - To strengthen our links to and with St Luke’s user groups

 Growing in Number - To use social media and our website as a means of communication
