Strategy 2025-30 - Seeking the Kingdom
- Vision is our dream, where we see ourselves in the future.
- Strategy is the plan that fulfils the vision.
- Goals are waypoints or markers which show our direction.
For the five years from 2025-2030, Lichfield Diocese, its parishes, chaplaincies, schools and cathedral are focusing their ministry, activity and service around a strategic plan: ‘Seeking the Kingdom' - download as a pdf
This plan has been worked out from our vision. Lichfield Diocese’s vision is encapsulated in a prayer:
Vision prayer
"As we follow Christ in the footsteps of St Chad, we pray that the two million people in our diocese encounter a church that is confident in the gospel, knows and loves its communities, and is excited to find God already at work in the world. We pray for a church that reflects the richness and variety of those communities. We pray for a church that partners with others in seeking the common good, working for justice as a people of hope."
Bishop Michael’s ten Bible studies, one for each goal, can be read in ‘Seeking the Kingdom - on Foot‘ Bible studies: download as pdf or email Richard Barrett with requests for paper copies (while available)
