Transformation Fund

• Worship:  growing the number of people worshiping Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour
• Discipleship: growing the depth of Christian faith and spirituality, learning to be followers of Jesus Christ and become more like him
• Service: growing in serving the church and local community.

Priority will be given to projects which align with the Anglican Communion’s Five Marks of Mission  https://www.anglicancommunion.org/mission/marks-of-mission.aspx and :

• develop and grow our mission, ministry and discipleship, lay and ordained
• strengthen local partnerships to allow missional developments to flourish
• help with administration and governance, such as by developing communication and improving technology

The Transformation Fund application process is also a gateway to additional missional trust funds.  Their charitable objectives cover the area of the Diocese of Lincoln and are focussed on:

• Church activity with children, young people, families, their mental health and wellbeing
• Wider church projects for people in areas of income deprivation offering employment, or training and preparing for employment
• Ecumenical projects serving communities with a focus on social justice
• Christian Youth Organisations in Lincoln – particularly uniformed groups,
• Religious, charitable or educational purposes, particularly spiritual, intellectual, moral, social or physical needs

Tier 1 and 2 applications will:

• promote growth
• be prayerfully considered
• be researched and evidence-based
• encourage parishes to take considered risks
• be well thought out
• demonstrate good stewardship 
• lead to transformation.

NB the Transformation Fund does not fund building projects or repairs.
