The primary
aim of Growth Action Planning is to help each church in the Diocese to focus
on what God longs for it to be like in 5 years time.
The church then decides on the priorities it will set for the coming year.
This is to ensure that each church uses its energy and talents wisely. It
follows from this that the most important thing in GAP is to discern God's
calling for your church and this means that prayer is central to all that
we do in GAP.
Growth is
about quality of worship, deepening discipleship, growing in prayer and
developing our contacts with the wider community. Alongside this, 'Growth'
in GAP is also about growth in numbers. As a church grows in health it will
grow in numbers. GAP asks us to plan for the future of the church in this
holistic way but does not allow us to sweep the issue of numerical growth
under the carpet.
