Pioneering Parishes helps churches move forward with what they have, rather than adding more tasks and activities to workloads. Helping parishes cultivate an environment in which new things can thrive in an appropriate way for their context and community.

Founded on the belief that pioneering is integral to parish life, Pioneering Parishes helps church leaders, both clergy and lay people, to discover pioneering in a new way and then enable steady culture change to shift energy out from the church into the parish.
