The Diocese of Carlisle covers the county of Cumbria.
The Diocese is divided into 11 deaneries, and then into 104 benefices, each with a serving vicar. Each benefice consists of one or more parishes of which there are a total of 263 in the Diocese.
We are an ecumenical county, where Anglicans, Methodists, Salvation Army and the United Reformed Church work together for the purpose of mission. Our joint God for All strategy demonstrates a united commitment for innovative mission, social justice, effective discipleship and the provision of church schools and academies; all to serve our communities and grow God's Kingdom.
