Helping churches grow by being intentional about their health, depth and impact
The Grow Course helps churches think through being intentional about growing in health, depth and impact through the use of course materials, learning communities and coaching for the church leader. For everyone to encounter the love of God in Christ we believe we need churches of different sizes and all traditions. We would like to invite you to explore what this might look like for you and your church.
The Grow Course is for all church leaders and their teams who want to see God’s word fulfilled and lived out in their Christian community.
The Grow Course is delivered using three modalities: Self-guided learning, coaching for the church leader and learning communities every three months. The course content is broken down into four modules: Vocation, Formation, Mission and Multiplication.
For information about dates and venues, please see our Events page or contact us.
Behind every church leader should be a team of supporters or people who will assist. We invite churches to bring teams of up to six people who can help discern, pray for, guide and encourage the church leader to work out what God is calling them to do at this time. These are not always the obvious people such as paid staff, Wardens or other clergy, but could be potential leaders within the church who are trusted, honest and brave.
There is a cost associated with attending the Grow Course, however the attendee contribution to this cost varies by diocese or network. The course includes:
We do not want money to be a barrier for any church to join the course. Please get in touch if this is something you would like to discuss.
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.”
1 Corinthians 3:6
01
The purpose of the first module on Vocation is to look at the why and how of each church. Why was your church started or built in the first place? Why is it still there? What is its function? What is the vision and culture?
02
When considering our Formation, we want to start looking at discipleship and leadership. How do we lead ourselves and disciple others who can also lead and disciple others?
03
Who are we inviting? This module looks at who we are inviting and gives some practical help on how to do that. We look at how to identify the type of people we can reach intentionally, how to integrate newcomers into the church family and other practical things such as communicating online and how hospitality plays a key role in welcoming everyone.

Growing our churches in numbers, depth and impact will see dramatic changes in our church community and the area around our churches. We will see our congregations respond to God’s love more and invite others to experience this as well. We will serve our communities better and show God’s love to those outside the church as well. But why stop there? Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations and Paul planted and nurtured many churches. How can we multiply our ministry and mission so we can have even more impact?
We help the Church reach new people in new and renewed ways with the love of Jesus Christ. If you want to participate in one of our courses or partner with us, we’d love to hear from you. Fill in this form and we’ll be in touch.
