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. 

Interviews for the next Bishop of Worcester

Next Thursday and Friday – 12 & 13 June – the Crown Nominations Committee (CNC) will be interviewing for our next Bishop of Worcester. Please help us to surround the process with prayer.
