Growing as followers of Jesus
"Growing as followers of Jesus" is the vision for each member of the church: that we should grow in our understanding of who we are in Jesus.
It is also the vision of the church as a whole, that we should grow not only in numbers, but in the depth of relationships with each other and our communities.
Our mission...
...is the way that we work out the vision.
Our logo...
...depicts the growth of a tree reaching upwards to the heavens, yet deeply rooted in the ground. Within the tree - indeed, forming its trunk - are hands raised in worship.
The reason that the order of the three churches seems to be inconsistent is quite simple. The official name of the benefice is "Wilne and Draycott with Breaston". The initial letters were taken to form the web name - WDBChurches. But St. Michael's, Breaston is the largest of the three churches, and St. Chad's, Wilne is the smallest, so the order is reversed when the churches are named.
