Mission Area Support operates to help and serve people in the parishes in various aspects of church life. It is the diocesan response to the Released strand of the strategy, it aims to release parishes as far as possible from current constraints (e.g. administrative and compliance demands; of inherited structures and buildings);
It combines resources, people and skills to directly support parishes with issues relating to admin and compliance.
