This document summarizes the progress and developments of the Fresh Expressions initiative in the Church of England over three years. It discusses the shift towards a more missional culture that values new forms of church alongside traditional parishes. Over 635 registered Fresh Expressions projects have started, representing 35% of parishes. Theological training and resources now emphasize the need to engage in pioneering new forms of church to reach more people.
