The Outreach Team
is responsible for missions,
social responsibility, Christian
charities and outreach to the local community.
This is carried out through those who use the Church premises, personal
involvement in community activities and joint projects with the other churches
in Mickleover.
Through the team we organise events, raise
funds and try to provide support for organisations and external events which
promote the mission of the Church. Activities are sometimes organised by
individuals and sometimes by working groups set up for that specific purpose.
|
We
support community groups and in particular our partners in the use of the
Church premises whose aims are consistent with our Mission.

provide the main contact with Mickleover Churches Together and try to
ensure that, as a Church, we do not undertake activities ourselves that
could better be undertaken jointly with the other Churches of Mickleover. |
