Focus Groups

Focus Groups are part of the Mission Development Process and comprise PCC members, Readers and other members of the Church, in which they participate in discussion on a particular subject considered important to the life of the Church. Currently the list of Focus Groups is as follows:

Gifts
Worship
Prayer
Children and Youth
Music
Outreach
International Development

The Focus Groups meet individually about every month and are asked to consider work for their Group as requested and guided by the Rector, as Chair of the Forward Group. Interaction between the Focus Groups occurs on a regular basis and a representative number of members from each Focus Group meet every two months at a PCC meeting, called principally to discuss Mission Development business.
