Diocese of Derby

The Diocese of Derby is a vibrant and diverse community within the Church of England, dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of its members and the wider community. Established in 1927, the diocese encompasses a rich tapestry of urban and rural parishes across Derbyshire. Our mission is to promote the Christian faith through worship, education, and outreach, fostering a sense of belonging and purpose among all individuals.

At the heart of our activities is a commitment to spiritual growth and community engagement. We offer a variety of services, including regular worship, educational programs, and social initiatives aimed at supporting those in need. Our clergy and lay leaders work tirelessly to ensure that every voice is heard and valued.

We believe in the importance of collaboration and actively seek partnerships with local organisations, charities, and community groups. This collaborative approach allows us to address pressing social issues such as poverty, mental health, and social isolation.

In addition to our community work, the Diocese of Derby places a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship. We are committed to promoting sustainability and caring for God’s creation, encouraging our congregations to engage in eco-friendly practices.

Our vision is to be a transformative presence in the lives of individuals and communities, inspiring hope and fostering resilience. We invite everyone to join us on this journey of faith, service, and love, as we strive to make a positive impact in Derbyshire and beyond.
