St Nicholas’ Kingsey

Mission Action Plan

Kingsey carried out a SWOT analysis, the results of which are as follows:

Strengths

• Kingsey Breakfast
• Brilliant set of volunteers
• Talent and dedication of volunteers
• A friendly church

Weaknesses

• Lack of volunteers
• Small village
• Lack of communal facilities
• The road

Opportunities

• The Church is the only public building
• Families at the Kingsey Breakfast
• The number of children currently in the village
• The development of the breakfast service
• The potential for a small group in future eg. Lent Course, big volunteer ministry team, artist in residence project.

Threats

• An ageing congregation
• Finance
• A lot of children in one age group

Strategic Goals

This year

• Keep Kingsey Breakfast thriving through publicity
• Keep other services and give a focus to festivals
• We have a mission project for 2016 focussed on having an artist in residence in August to renew our altar frontal. The mission projects need developing throughout 2016.

For the next 5 years

• Develop pastoral ministry via benefice visiting team
• Deepen the faith of our congregation
• Find more folk committed to volunteer and give regularly
• We need to be able to adapt to need and develop a flexible approach.
