Our Navigation team (Nav Team) is made up of clergy and lay people from the churches within the LSP. The Nav Team meet on a weekly basis to move the LSP Project forward. For more information on the discussions, check out the Nav Team minutes above. 

While not all churches in the Winwick deanery voted to continue on the process towards a Larger Single Parish, all remain committed to retaining close and collaborative relationships as we serve our local communities. 

To that end, Fr Michael Vyse from St James Haydock and Fiona Glover from St Thomas Golborne regularly attend Navigation Team meetings as observersto ensure good communication between the LSP and other parishes of Winwick Deanery.

Our Clergy Leadership Team (CLT) is made up of clergy within the LSP. The Clergy Leadership Team meet monthly to look at the LSP Project from a pastoral view, ensuring prayer and worship are central during the process.

11 of our deanery churches have voted to work towards the formation of a larger single parish, to be formed in early 2028.  These local worshipping communities will retain their own individual name, theology and expression of worship, but will share governance and support services to release clergy and lay people into more mission and ministry.  The churches who are working towards this aim are now what we are calling 'acting as if' we are one parish.  By clicking on the image of the church you can view their 'Church Near You' site for further information about them. The churches are:

All Saints, Glazebury

Christ Church, Croft

St Michael and all angels, Burtonwood

St Peter's, Newton-le-Willows

For more information about the Large Single Parish you can get in touch with our Administrator Ruth.
