Resources for Circuit Reshaping meetings

Dear Circuit Churches,

Over recent years the Circuit Leadership Team (“CLT”) and Circuit Council have been working on a vision for the structure of the Circuit with the aim of building a flourishing and growing Circuit where the gifts and graces of all can be recognised, as we build Christ’s Church in York and the surrounding area. 

We want our Church lives:

·       To be a source of joy;

·       To be a source of energy;

·       To make a real difference for Christ.

To achieve this we need to foster a more collaborative way of working across the Circuit:

·       Churches need to work together to pool resources: people, funds and buildings

·       Circuit needs to provide a wider level of administrative support to Churches to support the mission of the Churches to free people in the Churches for mission.

·       Both Churches and circuit need to work together to equip people for mission

You can download information on how we intend to go about this and a letter from our superintendent below.
