About Us

 

We are a family of over 320 churches, 234 parishes, almost 100 schools and academy trusts, and a growing number of fresh expressions of Church, in villages, market towns and the city of Leicester across 10 deaneries. We often describe ourselves as a rural diocese with urban heartlands and meet in church buildings, houses, community spaces and schools, with chaplaincies extending our ministry into other areas of community life. With the Kingdom of God as our vision, we look to encourage every Christian in their faith, vocation and ministry as they grow in the depth of their own faith, share their faith in conversation with others, and look for opportunities to act in loving service of others. We often describe this as "everyday faith." Our new Shaped By God Together Minster Communities framework will help our local worshipping communities to grow the Kingdom of God and live out our everyday faith.

New CommunitiesIntercultural Communities, Eco Communities Intergenerational Communities, and Reconciling Communities

Our offices are based in the gardens next to Leicester Cathedral in the St Martins House conference centre, alongside Cafe No:7 and Christian Resources bookshop. Our neighbours in Cathedral Gardens include our new monastic Community of the Tree of Life as well as St Martins Lodge luxury accommodation, profits from which contribute to our clergy stipends and pensions.
