Beverley Minster and its associated churches provide Christian worship and mission. There is a clergy team led by the Vicar, a team of staff employed by the PCC and a large team of willing volunteers.The Minster strives to support the Diocesan Common fund generously, and gives a proportion of its congregational offering to outside causes and charities..
