A Changing Church logo

In response to a call from the church at General Synod 2019, a Strategic Plan Working Group (SPWG) has been struck to develop and initiate a process to re-examine the mission and structures of General Synod.

In partnership with the entire church, the working group works prayerfully to undertake a strategic planning process for the ministry and mission of the national church.

Latest news from the SPWG

Catch up on the work of the working group:

• Resolutions to the Council of General Synod, Spring 2022
• May 2021 update
• Presentations to the Fall 2020 meeting of the Council of General Synod
