Welcome to the
Anglican Diocese of Melbourne

Renewal is God’s work. For the harvest is the Diocese’s vision and working strategy for 2027–2036.

It gives us a shared direction as we seek to become a healthier, more prayerful and more outward-looking Church: confident in Christ, attentive to the Holy Spirit and ready to join in what God is already doing.

Together, we are pursuing a renewed Church proclaiming Christ across Melbourne and Geelong, so that every person may encounter the love of God.
