The Diocese of Durham covers a geographical area of 2,530 square kilometres in the North East of England and the churches within that space serve a population of nearly 1.5 million people. There are 234 licensed clergy, 49 Readers, 417 Churchwardens, 209 Parochial Church Councils (PCCs) and countless faithful volunteers providing loving service through mission and ministry across the Diocese of Du
rham. As well as all the worshipping communities, there are 57 schools (primary and secondary) 57 headteachers, supported by 2,000 school teachers and other staff who are educating around 17,000 school children across the diocesan area. Our mission together as the Church of England in the Diocese of Durham is to ‘Bless our communities in Jesus’ name for the transformation of us all’. Following prayer and shared reflection, we have sensed God’s call to do this over the coming five years by working together as a family of churches to bring transformation by:
Challenging Poverty
Energising Growth
Caring for God's Creation
Engaging with Children, Youth & 18-25s
