Shrewsbury Episcopal Area - Greenhouse Journey

Ministry & Leadership

Telford group begins(30/09/25), Whitchurch group begins (04/10/25)

The Shropshire Greenhouse Team (Revd Chris Precious, Di Woolridge, Simon Mason, and Chris Densham) are inviting parish teams within the Shrewsbury Episcopal area to sign up for the Greenhouse journey.

Greenhouse offers a facilitated thinking space where you and your team can find time to reflect, guided by the Holy Spirit, with help and wisdom from the team and those in the room, to enable your ideas to develop into new ways of being church.

We’re inviting teams from each parish, a minimum of two per team, to sign up for 2 in-person meetings per year, with support conversations in between. We’re asking you to commit to both the full two-year journey and to joining the Whitchurch or Telford cohorts.

There's more info on the Greenhouse webpage including a video giving a flavour from Walsall Greenhouse.

For any further questions, please contact: The Revd Chris Precious or Di Woolridge.

Who is it for: People running a new form of church, or who have an idea for one, who want coaching, support and encouragement to reach and disciple new people in their communities.
