The Deanery of Stroud is part of the Diocese of Gloucester, which lies within the Province of Canterbury in the Church of England. We are a grouping of parishes which lie south of the city of Gloucester on the southern side of the River Severn.

Our national church is part of the global Anglican Communion, which stretches across over 165 countries worldwide. To find a church in our deanery (and further afield) you can use 'A Church Near You', an excellent parish finder for the Church of England.

In our Deanery, we aim to share the good things that are part of our life together as Christians in this part of Gloucestershire, including news of services, events and further mission activities.

Within this website you will find a list of the parishes and churches within our Deanery, with links to their own websites wherever possible. Nearly all of our Churches meet for worship every Sunday and more information can be obtained from the local Clergy. If you are hoping to arrange a Baptism (Christening), Wedding or Funeral, please contact your own local church in the first instance.
