Update on the Creating Missional Communities VSST
The Diocesan Council has initiated a temporary suspension of the Creating Missional Communities Vision-Shaped Strategic Team (VSST). This pause allows for a thoughtful review and reimagining of the team's mandate, priorities, structure, and terms of reference.
Under the direction of the Bishop, the Director of Mission and Ministry Development is leading this process, working closely with the Leadership Team.
This year (2026), a newly formed group of gifted and visionary lay and clergy leaders are convening to carry out this important work. Their focus will be on revising the Terms of Reference and preparing for a renewed launch of the VSST and preparing to engage in initiatives for God's emerging mission in our communities.
We look forward to sharing new developments in the next few months.
