Our Mission
The Diocese of Northampton is your Church in action throughout the counties of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and that part of berkshire north of the River Thames.
Rooted in the Gospel and guided by the Holy Spirit, we exist to proclaim Christ through both word and deed. Evangelisation is at the heart of everything we do, sharing the Good News, forming disciples, and supporting parishes as living communities of faith, worship and mission.
Your diocese walks alongside people at every stage of life. We support families, form young people, accompany those discerning their vocation, and serve the most vulnerable with compassion and dignity. Through prayer, education, outreach and service, we help faith to grow, flourish and take root in everyday life.
This is a shared mission. Through your parish or school, your gifts and your witness, the Church reaches far beyond its walls to bring hope, healing and meaning to our communities. Together, we seek to build a Church that listens, serves and goes out in confidence, trusting that Christ is already at work in the world.
The Diocese of Northampton exists so that the Gospel may be lived, celebrated and shared – today, and for generations to come.
