We have a vision to see Wakefield thrive and fulfil its full potential as a city of peace, hope and welcome to all. As a group of Christian leaders from different backgrounds and denominations, we aim to serve one another and to serve Wakefield by working together and with Civic leaders for the wellbeing of the city.
In the video below Church leaders in Wakefield share about the impact of working, learning and serving the city together over the last few years.
Listen to the BBC Radio interview below with our senior facilitator, Tony Hodges, about some of the projects that we have done together over the Christmas period 2022.
We made the video below as an update for our congregations about the projects we have done together and the ones we planned for Christmas 2021.
October 2021 Vision Wakefield Away Day
Sometimes we can get too caught up with ‘doing good’ and don’t take enough time out for rest, reflection and opening up to those around us who can support us.
This away day was a great opportunity to reflect, share our vulnerabilities and pray for one another. Of course we found time for discussing ideas too!
As well as being together, we enjoyed our surroundings and good food at the great location of the Blackley Centre in Elland.
Recap Of 2021 And Our 29th Workshop
What an exciting 18 months it has been here in Wakefield as the leaders have journeyed together and built a workshop culture. We have found that meeting together on a regular basis to brainstorm ideas and workshop has been key to engaging with the city as a united body.
It’s not all hard work though, we also enjoy the relationships that have grown out of having meals and sharing together.
