The Diocese of Bath and Wells is one of 42 Church of England dioceses in the country. The diocese stretches from Portishead in the north to Crewkerne in the south, Minehead in the west to Frome in the east.
The diocese loves and serves in the region of 1,000,000 people who live here through its family of 466 parishes and 181 church schools. This family works for the good of local communities in a range of practical as well as pastoral ways; caring for the vulnerable in our societies, supporting local families and encouraging children and young people.
Everything the diocese does is underpinned by prayer and worship and is driven by its vision that:
“In response to God’s immense love for us, we seek to be God’s people, living and telling the story of Jesus.”
