Welcome to the Official Church of England Guild of Vergers website.
The website has been designed to keep members of the Guild informed
about what's going on in and around the Guild, to provide a resource of
useful material, and also to encourage new members - particularly those
who feel they have a vocation within the Church of England to one of
the many forms of lay ministry under the wide-ranging title of Verger.
Each Verger is at the forefront of the church’s ministry of
hospitality, welcome, care (of people, buildings and sacred things) and
outreach in one form or another. Ours is a vitally important task and
whatever your particular range of duties or title – you are
welcome here ! We hope you will find great enjoyment and fulfilment in
your role and make many friends in this historic Guild community.
We hope that you find this a useful resource and will use it often ! If you have any further questions, or wish to know more about the Guild, nationally or in your area, do please contact one of the National Officers. The first port of call is usually the General Secretary but other contacts are also given on our Contacts page.
James Armstrong,
National Chairman,
