THE HARBOROUGH ANGLICAN TEAM
The Harborough Anglican Team comprises five Church of England churches in Market Harborough, Little Bowden, Great Bowden and Lubenham. We work closely as a team recognising that we can do more together than we can apart and that no one church can be or do everything.
Each church has its own webpage where you can find further information.
God has made us all different and distinct and we seek to honour that as a Team with a wide range of different styles of worship and of being a worshipping community. Not every style will be right for every person and so, with five churches and around a dozen different congregations, do contact us for suggestions as to where may be right for you.

OUR SHARED JOURNEY AND DESTINATION
Over the past year we have been engaged in a vision process across the Team. Emerging from that we explain our shared vision and destination as a Team thus:
Every individual in every congregation bringing their unique gifts so as to
grow together as part of God’s mission to serve our wider community through
forming new worshipping communities so as to add greater diversity, alongside continuing to develop our existing congregations.
You can read more about the vision and strategy process and where we feel God is leading us.
Resourcing Church Team
The Harborough Anglican Team has been designated by the Bishop of Leicester a Resourcing Church Team. This means that through both existing congregations and the development of new ones (probably around six new worshipping communities, some of which have already started with others planned) we hope to be a bigger church to make a bigger difference in our community, showing and telling of God’s amazing and revolutionary love for all. We would love you to be part of this exciting journey. Some of these new worshipping communities are starting organically and grassroots up (often known as fresh expressions of Church), others we have discerned more strategically to respond to bigger gaps in demography (like new housing), networks (like needing to better serve teenagers) or need (like those later in life who are more isolated).
