The grant from the national church will fund a programme of renewal over nine years.
The funding would bring the diocese closer to its aim of having "healthy churches transforming communities across the county"
The church said the new "Ignite Team" would work across Lancashire to reach young people and increase the numbers attending church regularly. "It may also be a place where young people can come along and explore the purposes of their lives and explore what it means to be a Christian. It will support the continuing growth of the church across Lancashire while simultaneously shaping a younger, more socio-economically and culturally diverse church.
