Mission Action Plan

Our clergy and the District Church Council (DCC) along with members of St. Martins will carry out our Christian Mission in Stonydelph and in the wider national and international community through the following initiatives:

1. Sunday services. These will involve many people and will include a variety of service formats including Holy Communion, Morning Praise and All Age Worship.
2. Fellowship Groups. These will generally meet weekly in a variety of times and locations. Our members will be encouraged to be part of the Fellowship Group structure and irregular and non- Sunday worshippers will be welcomed.
3. Prayer meetings. Midweek prayer meetings are part of the life of the Church, and we are committed to maintaining these meetings.
4. Local schools. We will maintain regular contact with local schools through initiatives such as Messy Church, seasonal activities and assemblies.
5. Other Church groups. Places of Welcome and Knit & Natter Craft & Chatter are encouraged to meet in a loving and united atmosphere, creating a sense of fellowship.
6. Community outreach. Our Coffee Shop, Places of Welcome and Make Lunch will contribute to our Mission in the local community.
7. International Mission. The Church has previously supported the Milawi Bakery Project through the proceeds from cake sales and is regularly involved in supporting Christian Aid and The Children’s Society.
8. Financial tithe. 10% of money collected in Sunday offertories is given to local and international initiatives as agreed by the District Church Council.
