Mission Hubs
Beginning with 13 places and communities from across the diocese and church traditions, Mission Hubs are places which have been recognised as missionally healthy parishes, working across all ages, and are ready now to establish creative partnerships with churches around them to offer resource, people and expertise.

Everyone has a unique faith story. Some people grow up in church, others find faith as a young person, adult, or later in life. Some people have a big moment, while for others faith develops slowly over time. Watch the personal stories of ten people from Dorset and Wiltshire. They've shared their story to encourage better conversations about faith. Could you share yours? Watch the videos here
