Dying to Live

Sowing for God’s kingdom -

Vision 2020 in Northern Synod!

 

Dying to Live was first presented at Synod meeting at Wideopen in October 2011. After further work by Mission Executive, an amended version of the booklet was presented to the Synod meeting at Newbiggin in March 2012, and the following resolutions were passed:-

Synod commends “Dying to Live – Vision 2020 in the Northern Synod” as amended March 2012, as a tool to be used, alongside other appropriate resources, by Local Churches, Committees and Synod itself in constructing frameworks whereby they may be lively, informed and effective in their planning for mission and Church growth both locally and regionally in the years leading up to 2020.

Synod instructs Mission Executive to take responsibility for the monitoring and development of Vision 2020 in the life of the Synod and its Local Churches.

 

The pages listed below provide an introduction to Dying to Live in the form of the text of the booklet agreed by Synod, together with an outline of the ten Vision2020 statements.

Worship resources that have been provided by synod members can also be accessed here.
