Pioneering Parishes: Into all the parish
The first steps towards becoming more outward facing
THIS INTRODUCTORY WEBINAR, RECORDED IN February 2026, offers a fuller overview of the vision and approach behind Pioneering Parishes. You’ll hear how parishes are seeing rooted transformation in both their congregations and local communities.
The webinar also introduces a range of learning opportunities, including ‘First Steps’, ‘Culture Change in Practice’ and ‘Values Day’. These create space for church leaders and leadership teams to develop the postures, practices, tools, skills and confidence needed to nurture a more outward-facing culture.
Please note that some webinar dates mentioned in the recording have now passed. New opportunities are regularly being added, so do get in touch with the team or visit the website for the latest information.
