The aim of the Mission Team is to to encourage and resource healthy growing churches and fresh expressions of church, supporting work in schools and chaplaincies. We work closely with Ministry, Transforming Communities, Vocations and Training,and Education to support Discipleship, Vocation and Evangelism in Lichfield diocese. We want to work with local churches to focus on mission, evangelism and growth, helping them to dream their dreams, develop their visions and to implement them.
The Mission Team is now a part of the Diocese's new DVE Department; this DVE Department is led by Dr Lindsey Hall and the Mission Team by Mr Simon Foster.
