We have had <em>Children in the Way<\/em> (1988); <em>All God\u2019s Children <\/em>(1991) <em>Youth Apart<\/em> (1996<em>) Growing for Growth<\/em> (2010) and <em>Rooted in the Church<\/em> (2016) in addition to the Education Division setting out ten marks of a high performing Diocesan Board of Education. Church members often claim that all the resources are skewed towards the under-16s at the expense of older people.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>So where are the children and young people?<\/li>\n<li>Why do so many parishes not seem to mind that they have few or no younger church members?<\/li>\n<li>And how can the church truly become a community for believers of all ages?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Growing Faith<\/em><\/strong> is a vision for children, young people and households to come to faith, grow in discipleship and confidently contribute to the Kingdom of God through the community of faith.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Growing Faith<\/em><\/strong> is fundamentally about changing the culture so that everyone instinctively puts children and young people at the heart of all we do as the Church of England. It involves churches, schools and households working together with the child or young person at the centre.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How can your Deanery respond to this challenge to be part of the culture change?<\/li>\n<li>What practical ways can the Deanery work to support missional work with children and young people across the deanery?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this Deanery Briefing Lucy Moore and Stephen Beamond from the Growing Faith Foundation will outline the work of the Foundation and will suggest practical ways to help the Deanery play its part in supporting and equipping the missional work of the parish with children and young people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-9656-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-9656-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-9656-2-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Lucy Moore<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Lucy is Head of the Growing Faith Foundation for the Church of England, helping schools, churches and households to work together for the spiritual flourishing of all children and young people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldeaneries.net\/?page_id=9714\">Read more about Lucy<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-9656-2-1-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-9656-2-1-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Stephen Beamond<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Stephen is the programme's lead for the Growing Faith Foundation.
