We are the Church of England in Worcestershire and Dudley.  
Welcome to the Diocese of Worcester.

Our diocesan vision is to grow as Kingdom People, sharing the good news of Jesus’ love in Worcestershire and Dudley.  

As the body of Christ, God’s Kingdom People, we join together to worship God, make disciples, share hope, and transform communities as we live out values of love, compassion, justice and freedom.

The Diocese of Worcester is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults to worship and grow in Christ safely.

The Crown Nominations Commission will be meeting on 9 May to shortlist candidates to be our next bishop and interviews will take place on 12 & 13 June. Can you commit to pray for this process? Find resources and sign up for a 15-minute time slot here.
