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.

Berrow with Pendock

Pray for everyone who is supporting the ministry in the Berrow and Longdon Benefices during their vacancy. As a new vicar is sought to take forward the wonderful ongoing ministry there, we pray that your will be done, Lord, and we lift before you whoever the new vicar will be. We pray that, through the Holy Spirit, they will hear your call to lead these parishes as we seek to follow your way. Clergy: vacant, Anthea Elston
