Background

In 2004 the church of england published its influential report, 'Mission Shaped Church' encouraging parishes
to think differently about worship, buildings, mission and ministry.

In 2006 the Diocese of Manchester underwent a diocesan wide assessment of parishes, buildings,
boundaries, structures and mission in order to help Deanery Pastoral Committees prepare for future ministry
patterns through the creation of a Deanery Strategy.

Together these two initiatives have enabled St Agnes' PCC to record, assess, and review the life, ministry
and mission of the Parish of St Agnes Longsight.

Working with the Deanery Development Officer to prepare for the future ministry and mission of St Agnes
Longsight and what part the church building may take in this the PCC have identified three areas of focus for
the future of our ministry.

Based on the Scripture text from the prophet Haggai which we walk under every time we enter our church
porch our mission as a parish grows from the words:

    in this place will I give peace

Please pray for our future that, in this place we will give peace.
Parish Development Plan
Based on the Scripture text which we walk under every time we
enter our church door our parish development plan grows from
the words:

    in this place will I give peace

Our development plans are now developing well and this page
gives some background notes to the whole process along with
links to the three areas we have identified as our parish plan.
