Our Diocesan Structure

Built for Mission, Ordered for Service

The D-Line Diocese is structured to ensure effective governance, pastoral care, and missional engagement at every level — from the Diocese to the local fellowship centre.

Circuits group several local churches under the pastoral oversight of a Superintendent Minister, facilitating shared resources, training, and mission activities.

Tier 3
03

Sections

Sections subdivide circuits into manageable pastoral units, ensuring closer supervision, nurturing of members, and local accountability.

Preaching Stations

Preaching Stations are emerging congregations at strategic locations, served by lay preachers and ministers as they grow toward becoming full local churches.

Tier 6
06
