The Diocese of Gloucester has a
5-year Vision called LIFE that all the churches in the diocese are asked to make their own for a period of 5 years. The letters of the word 'LIFE' stand for Leadership, Imagination, Faith and Engagement and are explained in the five sections below. The Vision is intended to help every church grow the faith, its members and its engagement with the wider world through imaginative programmes, so it has a tag line taken from St John's Gospel, chapter 10 verse 10:
"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full"
Those principles
have been adopted in our current programme to re-organise the benefice
