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.

Sharing the Joy of Christmas

Inspired by the Church of England’s Advent theme, we’re inviting people to share short video reflections that capture moments of joy during the Christmas season, whether personal, spiritual, or communal.

The Bare Necessities

25th November 2025

The congregation of Holy Trinity Church, Malvern, recently enjoyed a service featuring 'Telephones and Toilets', led by Reader Eileen Tomlin. As a result, enough money was raised for seven local toilets to be 'twinned' with other toilets in more deprived areas of the world, providing safer sanitation.

A quiet revival among students and young adults

At All Saints Worcester, the 6pm gathering is seeing a quiet revival among students and young adults. This Advent, the team are encouraging them to take simple, bold steps of invitation.

At the end of November, they’ll be bringing friends along to a student pub quiz - a relaxed evening designed to break down barriers. Just a week later, the season begins with the church’s much-loved Beer & Carols, where hundreds pack into St Helen’s Church on Worcester High Street to sing familiar carols in a fresh, joyful
setting.

For many young people, this is their first step through church doors. One student recently shared, “I never expected church to feel like family so quickly.”

This Advent, as friendships grow and faith is shared, pray that more students will
discover the hope of Christ for themselves.
