Alcester Minster
Rural Mission Hub

Diocesan Rural Conference

Saturday 28th September 2024, Claverdon Church Centre.

The conference attracted 115 people from across the Diocese with a range of speakers and workshops to equip and encourage the rural churches of Warwickshire. 

A short highlights video is now available on the Diocesan Facebook page.

Welcome to the Hub

The hub is based in the Alcester Minster group of 8 churches in rural Warwickshire, near Stratford-upon-Avon. It is one of six hubs in Coventry Diocese,  part of the strategy to create 150 new worshipping communities by 2030 - roughly one per parish in the Diocese. 

We aim to offer a gathering point and a focus where people can come from local churches for support. We will facilitate learning together, (especially for lay leaders/teams), encourage and share good practice, develop local mentoring between churches. 

We will work with any churches locally, and particularly those across the Diocese of Coventry that are rural and multi-parish groups.  More...
