Our Abbey Community

Our Abbey Community has around 200 people who regularly worship at the Abbey, supported by over 100 volunteers who take on a huge variety of roles to support the Abbey and its mission.  Our community is not just from Dorchester – our Friends of Dorchester Abbey include people from as far afield as Seattle!

We are led by the people you see below – clergy, Churchwardens, paid staff and PCC, who all work together inspired by a love of this wonderful building and the sense of God within it.

Our Abbey is led by a Rector, 2 Curates and 2 Churchwardens with the support of an Associate Vicar and the Dorchester Team Clergy:

We have a some paid part time staff who lead those areas that require professional skills

The work of the Abbey is led by co-ordinators

They are faithful Christians, committed to the mission of the Church with the ability to help us organise our life together as well as to inspire and offer respect.
