Transforming Church. Together.

We believe that the local church – the parish and new forms of church - is the genius of the Church of England. In the local, Christ’s love is offered to the reality of each place and every person. We long to see flourishing churches, which are representative of their communities, and where people are led by the Holy Spirit in growing the Kingdom of God. We pray for renewal and transformation of ourselves, our churches, and our society.

Walk with us, pray with us, be with us across the Diocese!

Step into a nine‑day pilgrimage from the 15th - 23rd May 2026, for an adventure of prayer, story, and hope. Kingdom Seeds in Local Soils coincides with Thy Kingdom Come and is part of our Bristol diocesan Rhythm of Life. It's a call to pray that the seeds of God’s kingdom may be sown in every corner of our diocese. You can join us for as much, or little, of the journey as you are able - even if that's simply saying hello as we pass through! 

Join the adventure!
