CREED Ireland has produced ‘Pro–vision’ a new and easy–to–use resource for the local church.
“Money follows vision” With the recession proving a challenge for local churches as much as for any other part of the community it is very difficult for congregations to keep themselves not only inspired by a vision but also to find the money to pay for it. It is with these challenges in mind that CREED Ireland has produced ‘Pro–vision’ a new and easy–to–use resource for the local church.
‘CREED Pro–VISION’ is a creative resource to help churches work through the issue of finance. The title is a clever play on words that helps capture the purpose of the resource. It recognises that it can be difficult for churches to stay motivated by a vision to serve and engage with the need of their local community whilst struggling to meet their running costs – with the result that vision can be stifled. That is why CREED Pro–VISION will help the local church to rise successfully to the financial challenges of today and still realize the vision.
CREED Ireland has a deep reservoir of experience helping churches to engage creatively with the needs of their local communities. Its skill lies in helping churches find ways of identifying their vision and then helping them find the means to make things happen. Simon Brown, the Secretary of CREED, said “We have been encouraged by the support of senior church leaders to develop Pro–VISION. We believe it will be a resource helping churches find the means to make even more difference in their communities”.
The first phase of “CREED Pro–VISION” will see the engagement with and the use of this unique programme by trained facilitators in ten different churches in every part of the country. This will take place over the coming few months.
CREED is inviting expressions of interest from Churches and Organisations who may wish to participate in CREED Pro–VISION from Spring 2012.
