Diocese of Liverpool

The Diocese of Liverpool’s strategy is rooted in the Church of England’s vocation to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ afresh in each generation and to be a Christian presence in every community. Our refreshed diocesan strategy is making a step change in missional ambition which, with its clear focus on growth and sustainability, requires and takes a ‘whole system’ approach to change and alignment. We know we need to focus our missional ambition through sharper choices and more determined implementation. And we expect to see a flowering of church planting and revitalisation.


A key part of achieving our strategy is to make a step change in how we develop leaders - both lay and clergy - who are equipped to lead such generational change. The Diocese of Liverpool is seeking significant financial investment from the Church and to this end, plans to form a new team focused on Learning & Development. This team will create and implement a comprehensive strategy for developing lay and ordained ministry leaders with the skills they need to grow and sustain worshipping communities that reach and serve all communities and in particular, develop a church that is younger and more diverse. It is a very exciting opportunity.
