Children, Youth and Families

We work alongside parishes supporting them to create and carry out a vision for children’s and family ministry in their context, and to explore resources for developing this ministry.

If you are a children’s, youth or families leader or team member in the Diocese of Gloucester, we would love to be able to keep in contact with you. If you are happy to be registered on our Gloucester Diocese Database, please click here to submit your information.
