Offering a far-sighted, challenging and fun programme for local parishes, deaneries, dioceses or faith based organisations considering their future and looking for 21st century ways to engage.

Approach

rdp uses adapted social/business development techniques to inspire participants to think in a focused, creative and sustainable way about their opportunities and offer along with potential role and priorities for growth.

Success is achieved through a workshop and shared learning platform, with on-going support and mentoring part of the formula.

We have successfully run the programme in over 20 parishes/contexts across four dioceses.

re-think your offer    |    re-invigorate your parish    |    re-engage your community

Comments from recent work with St Michael’s Church, Paulsgrove:

“This has opened my eyes to all the ways we could improve our building and do more for the parish.”

Community programme kicks off in Paulsgrove – will send a link to go here.

As part of the rdp process, CSR has led on a lottery bid application for a substantial engagement project at St Michaels, which if successful would see the church centered at the heart of community.
