From the application
”We have seen an increased need to have dialogue and reflect on important societal issues, theological questions, and questions regarding existential health.”

The board's motivation
Visingsö Mission Church is one of the few important meeting places on the island. The congregation conducts an open and broad activity that caters to both islanders and visiting tourists. The building's exterior remains unchanged and its cultural-historical value is significant. A new roof, and in addition stylistically appropriate, is an important building maintenance effort and is significant for the activities. With support from larger and more suitable premises. This creates conditions for increased employment in the countryside. a Leader resources are released for the hiring of a part-time youth pastor and thus the development of the activities.
