This is a holding page for the Larger Single Parish (LSP) in Sefton. Through the Fit for Mission process, 9 churches across two deaneries are joining together to form one LSP, which will allow for a stronger community across the churches, centralise governance locally and reach more people missionally.

As we move further into this transition process, a new website will be developed where you can find everything you need to know about your parish, including service times, contact information and event details.

As a diocese, we’re asking God for a bigger church to make a bigger difference and we believe that Fit for Mission is the discerned path to achieve this. We are now into cohort 3  of this programme and have identified 9 parishes who have voted to form a LSP. In this two years of ‘acting as if’ we will prayerfully work towards building our own locally formed larger single parish that reflects the needs, passions and people of Sefton N&S.

This LSP includes the following churches:

What is happening currently?

A navigation team has been formed who will oversee all the documentation being made and help form the new parish. They are a group of lay people from across the LSP who meet once a week to discuss the parish and make decisions through prayer, compassion and personal insight. Their current focus is solidifying the vision of the new parish. Learn more about this team.

You can find more detail about what we have discussed in meetings here:

The Clergy Leadership Team (CLT) has begun to meet. This team is formed of clergy across the LSP, and they work together to plan mission and oversee the parish.
