In engagement with the world, it will:

seek specifically to relate to the Staffordshire County Council and to the Unitary Authority of Stoke-on-Trent.
seek to share in partnership with other organisations and structures.enable the churches to speak with a common voice.

In engaging the churches together, it will:

operate as the Sponsoring Body for Local Ecumenical Partnerships, providing guidance and support to existing LEPs, and advice concerning potential new ones.
encourage shared prayer and worship, and theological reflection.
stimulate common mission and service in the world through local ecumenism, e.g. Local Ecumenical Partnerships and Churches Together groups.
challenge denominations at every level to think and act together and to share resources.
function as intermediate link between the local, the regional and the national ecumenical scene with the West Midlands Region Churches' Forum and Churches Together in England.

Together with the churches, and with other partners, it will engage

in the study of social and community concerns with a view to action where appropriate.
