Flourish is a joint two-year CPAS and LICC programme. It emerged from the Setting God’s People Free initiative and aims to nurture the missional courage, confidence and competence of churches to enable Christians to become confident disciples of Jesus in both their ‘gathered’ and ‘scattered’ lives.

Whether you are a vicar at a CPAS patronage church, a churchwarden or PCC seeking to find your next vicar, a church leader looking for your next post or a member of diocesan staff involved in a patronage process, we are here to help you.
