The Cathedral is the opposite of a dusty museum. It’s an inspiring space for daily worship and a busy community hosting a huge range of activities. Over 80 full and part-time staff and 700 volunteers keep everything running smoothly, led by their Dean and Chapter with guidance from their Bishop and expert advisors. Charitable trusts, foundations and their own supporters also make a huge contribution.

Vision

To discover and live out the beauty of holiness

Mission

Winchester Cathedral, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, seeks in its life to reflect the dynamic love of God revealed in Christ, through being both a servant of others in their journey of faith, and of the world in its search for meaning and inspiration, reconciliation and wholeness.

Purpose

-To be a community of worship, witness and welcome with Benedictine priorities
-To witness beyond the life of the Cathedral to the universal identity of the Church
-To be a sign of the Kingdom to which God is calling through commitment to justice, the integrity of creation and healing in and between people
-To release and enable, within a caring, learning environment, the gifts of all members of the Cathedral community: lay and ordained, staff, volunteers and members of the worshipping community
-To work for collaboration, cooperation and effective communication at all levels of Cathedral life and beyond
-To conserve and develop the beauty of the buildings, contents and estates within their care
-To thrive and not just survive
