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. 

What's happening with the Vacancy in See

During January the members of the Crown Nominations Commission who will appoint our new Bishop met together to continue to take forward the process.

Daily Prayers

iSingPop at Perry Wood Primary School

Holy Trinity and St Matthew Church in Ronkswood, Worcester has a great relationship with their local community Primary School, Perry Wood. The Revd Rob Farmer regularly goes into school to lead assemblies and teach religious studies, and the church also provides Easter eggs and leavers’ gifts for the different year groups.

Last year, they arranged for iSingPop to come into the school to work with the children, teaching them a range of songs, interspersed with bible teaching. The class teachers then practised the songs with the children before there were two concerts to which the families were invited.

Rob said: “I wanted to find a way to build on our relationship with the school and look to develop a new worshipping community with them. I suggested iSingPop to the school as it’s a really accessible way for the children to learn more about Christianity and enjoy themselves as well!”

iSingPop works mainly with church schools but are always very happy to come into community schools. The set of songs are the same, but they tailor the bible teaching differently depending on the context.
The parish are now using the iSingPop materials as part of a New Worshipping Community in the school.

Pray for the parish of Holy Trinity and St Matthew in Ronkswood, Worcester, for Perry Wood School and for all our churches who are finding innovative ways to bring new people to faith.
