About Diocese of Bristol

The Diocese of Bristol is the Church of England across Bristol, South Glos, North Wilts and Swindon. There are 30,000 people worshiping regularly in more than 200 churches, led by hundreds of clergy who we train and provide. Around 15,000 children and young people attend our 69 Church schools, while chaplains serve in institutions across our region. Rt Revd Vivienne Frances Faull the Bishop of Bristol, is the Diocesan Bishop supported by Rt Revd Dr Lee Rayfield, the Suffragan Bishop of Swindon. Our diocesan identity and vision of “Creatingconnections: connected with God, each other and our communities”, helps shape the work of ministers, parishes and schools. Our priorities as a diocese at the current time are making disciples, growing leaders and engaging younger generations. The Diocesan Support Services exist to support our identity, vision and priorities. Based at the Diocesan Office to the north of Bristol and made up of 50 employees and volunteers, we serve ministers, parishes and schools by expressing vision, strengthening relationships, empowering people, maximizing resources and developing structures. We offer training, consultancy, advice in a range of areas, highlight and share best practice across the Diocese and manage different aspects of the life of the Diocese. Come and join a strong and committed team.
