The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu officially announced yesterday that he is to become Patron of Leading your Church into Growth - a Christian organisation which equips church leaders and churches to grow.
At the event held at Bishopthorpe Palace to mark this new chapter in the organisation, the Archbishop talked about the great work that LyCiG has done over the last 25 years to encourage churches, to inspire individuals both ordained and lay to enable churches make a difference in their local community and further afield.
The Revd Canon Robin Gamble said, “LyCiG is about helping thousands of churches to flourish, but even more important it’s about helping tens of thousands of people find God”.
