Welcome

Our vision of encouraging confident Christians, growing churches and transforming communities guides and supports our parishes, churches and three cathedrals.
We are here to help everyone share the Good News of Jesus Christ across our diverse region.

 

The Bishop of Leeds,
The Rt Revd Nick Baines.

Bishop Nick is retiring at the end of November 2025, and so the diocese is engaged in the Vacancy in See process.

More on this, including our public consultation, can be found here.
