The Greenhouse Missional Journey

Growth explained as a circular diagram of six stages (listen, love, community, share Jesus, church, repeat) and noting that groups can: join at any point / develop at own pace / natural cycle

Greenhouse Learning Communities guide and enable individuals and teams through a fresh expressions missional journey with the help of Godsend resources. The Godsend toolkit includes a book, videos and stories that open up conversations and development of new initiatives through the cycle of Listen, Love, Community, Share Jesus, Church, Repeat. Teams and individuals can identify where they feel they are in the missional journey and develop their fresh expression at their own pace. Find out more about Godsend here: https://godsend.cloud/.

Greenhouse in Lichfield Diocese

Our Diocese has a Greenhouse network in each episcopal area. Every Greenhouse meets in person at least twice a year and is facilitated by a team of lay and ordained people grounded in pioneering and fresh expressions and specifically trained for this role. 

Our network facilitators are also trained to offer coaching to support individuals and/or teams as they explore the missional journey and set up fresh expressions. Coaching can be particularly helpful at those times when we’re feeling unsure of the way forward or rather stuck in one area of the development cycle.
