At the heart of what we do is wanting more people to come to know Jesus.
We are the Church of England in Herefordshire, south Shropshire and some parishes in Worcestershire, Powys and Monmouthshire. Our worshipping community is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds. Nearly 12,000 children attend one of our 78 schools and academies.
Our vision is to inspire each generation to follow Jesus Christ - our families, friends, neighbours, colleagues, the people we meet - so that lives and communities are changed and God’s kingdom grows here in Hereford Diocese, on earth, as in heaven. Through a series of conversations in 2021/22 we built a shared understanding of our part in God’s mission where our diocesan strategy seeks to unite our diversity around our common vision marked by Christlikeness, prayerfulness and outward facing engagement
Our Bishop is the Rt Revd Richard Jackson, enthroned in March 2020 as the 106th Bishop of Hereford.
