Children, Young People & Families
We support parishes as they seek to develop and extend their mission and ministry with children, young people and their families. Find out more.
Church Growth
Our diocese is all about growing the local church. This means growing the church in numbers, spirituality, and out into our local community. Find out more.
Clergy Development
We aim to help clergy as they grow and learn in ministry and theology, from curacy to retirement, so they in turn can help their congregations learn and grow. Find out more.
Lay Training
Opportunities are availble to help lay people grow in faith, and develop their gifts to serve God and all God's people within and beyond the Church. Find out more.
Social Engagement
At the heart of our strategy lies “Transforming Communities”, and parishes are engaged in this work from food banks, community cafes, Places of Welcome and more. Find out more.
Vocations
We work with those exploring a call to ordained ministry, but we're here to support and encourage everyone to discover God's purpose for their lives. Find out more.
