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...
