Our VISION
Thriving churches with deepening understanding of their role and mission within a changing society
Our MISSION
To use credible research to identify signs of hope, to nurture life in both leadership and churches as well as to encourage the wider community to reflect upon its spiritual journey and the churches' place within it. In the light of our vision we will conduct empirical research, support churches to use it, and encourage other researchers to use the information.
Organisational VALUES
We have four key values. We seek to be credible, unifying, vital & prophetic.
