Welcome to the Rochester Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship
We exist to strengthen biblical convictions about gospel of Jesus Christ and to encourage its proclamation throughout our diocese. By:
- Uniting evangelicals of different shades who are share a commitment to the matters of first importance.
- Encouraging all who treasure this message to receive it and communicate it boldly, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Resourcing one another to do this through events and sharing online material.
- Representing the views of evangelicals to the bishops and diocesan staff.
The headline image is of building work on the M2 Medway Bridge – a visual expression of our aim to unite evangelicals right across the diocese.
