Mission and Ministry in the Algarve (E&C)

St Vincent's East and Central Algarve is raising money for The Diocese in Europe (Church of England)
We are a Mission-shaped diocese - a network of Christian communities and congregations serving Anglicans and other English-speaking Christians across an enormous geographical area.We minister in a myriad of situations, in most of which the Church of England has scarcely been heard of, questions of establishment scarcely arise, civic links may take a very different form, and de­nomi­na­tional identity is often much less important than the language of worship. English churches and congregations have been established on the Continent since before the Reformation. The number of these grew to such an extent that in 1633 congregations of the Church of England in all foreign countries were placed under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London. Anglican dioceses and then provinces were later formed in all parts of the world outside the United Kingdom.The Diocese in Europe is made up of churches and congregations spread across forty-two countries on three continents, and covering one sixth of the earth’s land surface. And yet, this is a Diocese of the Church of England.

Story

Thank you so very much for visiting this page and considering helping with our core funding. Just now we are looking for £9000 to support our ministry through to the end of 2027. If you are a UK taxpayer, JustGiving makes Gift Aid simple for charity and donor: everyone gets a receipt and if you create an account you can view your Donation History any time.

Our lively and committed congregations need more funds to continue and extend our work of being a Christian presence within the English-speaking community and for visitors. We welcome all to worship with us and are here to help celebrate weddings and baptisms, as well as caring for those suffering bereavement. We also support local charities that help feed hungry families, look after children in care and elderly people, and we work with partners to enhance the local environment for future generations.
