Following the Affirmation at the Deanery Synod on 25th April, churches who voted to enter the next stage of the Fit for Mission journey are now proceed together in the "Act as if" stage. The Rev Phil Saltmarsh is our Change Lead with Lisa Gilligan from the Dicosese supporting us as Change facilitator.
THE NAVIGATION TEAM
The Navigation Team is being chaired by Rev Phil Saltmarsh (St Aidan with All Saints Speke), who is also the Fit for Mission Team Lead. The members are: Ann Cowen (St Mary’s Grassendale), Rev Ian Greenwood (St Anne’s Aigburth), Jen Jarman (All Souls Springwood), Joy Jary (St Stephen’s Gateacre), Rev Gareth Morgan (St Nicholas and St Mary’s Halewood), Paul Roberts (St Anne’s Aigburth), Rev Nicola Milford - Area Dean (All Hallows Allerton). This team will be reviewed regularly to ensure we have the right mix of people and skills.
We are now at the stage of discerning the details of what Fit for Mission will look like in Liverpool South, and also who will be serving with us on the journey,. Please prayerfully consider whether you can contribute by serving on one of the Change Teams.
CHANGE TEAMS
Change Teams are interim teams that oversee different aspects of the transition to the new, larger parish. They consist of a mixture of lay members and clergy from within churches of the FfM journey.
Change teams are working together to work out what a larger parish will look and feel like in Liverpool South. They are working out the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how it will come together as we seek to build God’s kingdom in our part of the city.
Current teams are:
- the Communications (Comms) Team
- the Right Buildings Team
- the Finance Team
- the Cultivate Team
- the Support Services Team.
We anticipate that the Growth Team will emerge out of the Cultivate pathway in the Autumn, and the Safeguarding and Church Wardens teams will also form later in the year.
