About us
Who we are
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 13,300 people of all ages and backgrounds. Nearly 7,500 people attend a service each Sunday and 12,000 children attend one of our 78 schools and academies.
Our vision is to inspire each generation to follow Jesus Christ. Our strategic priorities are:
- Spiritual and numerical growth – growing Christians of all ages and backgrounds
- Contributing to the Common Good
- Reimagining ministry
Our current bishop is the Rt Revd Richard Jackson.
Our culture and values
"Our values are at the heart of everything we do as we seek to proclaim Christ and grow disciples. This strategy is mostly about creating a framework to enable the local church to flourish but recognises that there are some things that will need to be stimulated centrally due to a lack of existing capacity or resources. "
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are committed to equal opportunities and diversity and welcome applications from all suitably qualified people
