2020 VISION Money... it shows that we mean it  |
2020 Vision Funding the Future Looking to the future
The strategy re-affirms our commitment to our five core constituencies: the Sunday congregations; the media industries; the commercial firms of the parish; the City and Livery Companies we serve; and our visitors and tourists. At St. Bride’s we aim to provide worship that is dignified and uplifting, complemented by music of the highest standard; a warm and welcoming fellowship; an environment that is beautiful, peaceful and prayerful; a place of enquiry and intellectual stimulation; and pastoral care through the occasional offices and on a daily basis. The 2020 Vision is to grow our congregations, refresh and enhance our ministries, and increase our revenues. We believe this is achievable through making the most of the opportunities that are open to us. Working groups have been set up to carry forward each part of our strategy and we have launched our Stewardship Campaign to address the level of personal giving to our church, which has to be the key to the future survival of our Ministries. In 2009, against a grim economic background, regular tax-efficient giving increased by £46,000, more than doubling the previous year’s total. There is still more to be done, and we need your support, ideas and commitment to make it all happen, so that St. Bride’s remains a vibrant place of spiritual renewal in the midst of this busy city. |

It is time to look to the future. To help us to do this, the Parochial Church Council has launched a project entitled 2020 Vision, which will give us a strategy to take us through the next 10 years and re-equip us for the challenges ahead.
