Leading your Church into Growth

Leading your Church into Growth is for clergy and lay leaders from across church traditions who are looking for encouragement and equipping in leading their churches into growth. Growth is something we all want to see in our Churches! So let's discover together how we can develop as people and grow the kingdom of God.

A LyCiG Journey

Lynda, vicar at Cottenham and Rampton, and Ian, Churchwarden, talk about their LyCiG journey after attending the Ely Diocese conference in 2023.

Looking ahead to our Leading your Church into Growth (LyCiG) conference.

Learning developed over the years has shown that the conference is much more effective if there are more than one person from a benefice attending. It means that these people can make plans and decide next steps. To support this, the Diocese will cover the cost for the incumbent and two other people from the benefice to attend the conference. This could be a churchwarden, PCC member, ALM, LLM or someone who is passionate about seeing the church grow. Other members are of course welcome, at a charge of £40 pp to cover the cost of the resources, but please do have a conversation with Peter Leech if you would like to have more people attend but the cost would be prohibitive.

The dates and timings for this year's conference are as follows:

Saturday 15 March 10:00am-4:00pm
Sunday 16 March 10:00am-4:00pm

You may want to use the Leading your Church into Growth prayer (below) with your PCCs, or during the weekly Sunday service, or in your own prayer time.

Leading your Church into Growth prayer

God of Mission
Who alone brings growth to your Church,
Send your Holy Spirit to give
Vision to our planning,
Wisdom to our actions,
Joy to our worship,
And power to our witness.
Help our church to grow in numbers,
In spiritual commitment to you,
And in service to our local community,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
