Growing your church takes effort and the big question being consistently asked is: How?
In 2022, the Church of England Vision and Strategy Team conducted qualitative and quantitative research with churches who had grown numbers of children and young people consistently and the principles have been summarised in this short and simple film. They have used the P.R.A.Y acronym as an easy and catchy way to remember the key principles which lead to growth in the numbers of children and young people in our church.
