Our vision
Our vision is to show and tell the good news of Jesus Christ by…
• deepening our life of prayer through active discipleship, grounded in the sacraments
• growing and planting congregations, in which new people encounter Jesus
• organising for justice: being a church which is of and for the poorest
We want to see Choir Church in many more places, with children & their families formed in faith through teaching and musical worship of the highest order.
We want to see the wider community newly engaged in the life of the Church. We want to see the relationship between local churches, cathedrals, and schools encouraged, strengthened and renewed.
“Community organising has been at the heart of Choir Church in Shadwell from the start. The social action campaigns led by St George-in-the-East have been shaped by the testimony of children and families on the impact of rising housing costs and poor repairs on their health. Homilies at Choir Church have helped children, parents, carers and teachers to understand why and how following Jesus Christ involves praying and acting for justice - and the community organising approach is intentional about developing the agency and confidence of children and adults alike in this prayer and action.”
The Reverend Canon Dr Angus Ritchie
