The Church21 Preparation Course has been designed to help prepare parishes participating in the Church21 Conference but other churches may also find it helpful. To get the best from the conference, parishes should have identified their particular needs beforehand, so we invite you to reflect on where you are now and where you feel God is calling you to be. Are there key areas of parish life you need to focus on? The Preparation Course provides a framework within which to examine six areas of development – welcome, fellowship and caring, worship and nurture, service to others, communications and ministry.
