Archbishops' Council

The Archbishops' Council is a part of the governance structures of the Church of England. Its headquarters are at Church House, Great Smith Street, London.

The council was created in 1999 to provide a central executive body to co-ordinate and lead the work of the church. This was a partial implementation of the recommendations of the report "Working Together as One Body" produced by Michael Turnbull (then Bishop of Durham) in 1994.

The Archbishops’ Council has seven objectives.

1. A Younger Church: To double the number of children and young active disciples in the Church of England by 2030.

2. A More Diverse Church: To fully represent the communities we serve in age and diversity.

3. Revitalise Parishes: A parish system revitalised for mission so churches can reach and serve everyone in their community.  

4. New Christian Communities: Creating 10,000 new Christian communities across the four areas of home, work / education, social and digital.

5. Missionary Disciples: All Anglicans envisioned, resourced, and released to live out the five marks of mission in the whole of life, bringing transformation to the Church and world. All local churches, supported by their dioceses, becoming communities and hubs for initial and ongoing formation.
