Anglican

Anglicans form the family of Christians closely related to the Archbishop of Canterbury. Whilst tracing their inheritance back to Christ and the earliest Christians and to the ancient Roman Catholic church, the sixteenth century Reformation was a crucial moment for Anglicanism.

Llandaff Centre of Mission

A partnership between the Diocese of Llandaff and Church Army.

Prayer

Prayer sustains our human relationship with God and may involve words (formal or informal) or be silent. Prayer can involve adoration (‘I love you’), confession (‘sorry’), thanksgiving and supplication (‘please’).

Theological

‘Theology’ means literally ‘words about God’. Christian theology involves our trying to understand and explain what God has revealed about himself through Scripture. This work is aided by the writings of past and present theologians and human reason.

Dear All,

We, the Growth Enablers, are delighted to support and resource churches looking to grow in numbers and faith.

Our support to a Ministry Area never looks the same twice because every church is different! When we work with a church, we aim to understand its history, context and current challenges and goals to be able to give the best possible advice on the right resources and mission strategies for you. We then journey alongside you to get everything up and running.

As part of the Integrated Mission Team, we will help you look at reaching out into your wider communities. This could be planting a new ‘flock’ in a new or existing building, facilitating training, or finding new ways to nurture faith in the community with ‘enquirer’ courses (see below). Perhaps you need some ideas on how to expand your church’s invitation and hospitality, grow a prayer group, start a Messy or Muddy Church, run a community event, or maybe you have an idea for something completely different that’s not been done before.

Why not have a look at our videos and get in touch to book a “Taste and See” session, at your premises to explore how we can work with you.

We can’t wait to hear from you.
