Land Acquisition for New Parishes
We must continue to acquire new land in strategic, growing communities in order to build for the future. This land will provide a foundation for our parish plants, and enable us to reach new members and continue our growth. We are seeking the strategic placement of seven new Episcopal churches during the next 20 years.

FACTS:
• Eleven (11) parishes and worship communities were established by our diocese from 1991 to 2004.
• In 2004, there were a total of 1,818 baptized members in these eleven parishes.
• These 1,818 members make up 5.3% of the diocesan total weekly attendance.
• On average, 802 people per week attend these parishes for worship.
• We believe that inaction at this time would seriously impede our hope for future growth.
