Kidderminster Ismere

The Kidderminster Ismere Team Ministry was formed in January 2015, binging together 6 churches to be found in the north of Kidderminster and covering rural, urban, estate and town centre areas.  The grouping of churches is Kidderminster is undergoing change at this time.

We have a team of clergy, Readers and Authorised Lay Ministers plus very many volunteers, all focused on reaching out to the communities we serve and providing a variety of worship styles to meet an array of needs.
