Biography of The Revd Canon Adewole Foluso Adedipe
The Revd Canon Adewole Foluso Adedipe is the Priest in Charge (Vicar) of the Parish of Bilston in the Diocese of Lichfield.
He trained both for ministry and as a Nurse in Nigeria, and also completed Cardiology Nursing training at Alexandria University, Egypt in 2012. Following his relocation to the United Kingdom in February 2020, he completed his postgraduate nurse education at the University of Wolverhampton. He was ordained Deacon in 2012 and Priest in 2013.
With a heart for pastoral care, Church Planting, and youth work, he has served faithfully in a variety of contexts. He has planted two churches and, with the Bishop of Lichfield’s permission to officiate, began ministry in Wolverhampton in 2020. He was later formally licensed as Assistant Minister of St Luke’s Church, Blakenhall, serving there from 2023 until 2025.
Alongside his ministry, Foluso worked in the NHS as a Nurse between 2020 and 2025, rising to the role of Senior Clinical Nurse Specialist in Heart Failure and Registered Independent Nurse Prescriber. In June 2025, he gave up his professional role in nursing to answer God’s call into full-time ministry, serving the people of Bilston.
He served as a member of the Board of Governors of St Luke’s Church of England (Aided) Primary School, Blakenhall, Wolverhampton, from 2023 to 2025.

Our Worship Group
Our Worship Group is made up of a dedicated team of pupils who expressed their interest by writing to us and asking to be involved. These pupils meet with me each week to develop their confidence and leadership skills while exploring what it means to contribute to the Christian life of our school.
Each week, the Worship Group works together to plan our assemblies. They help with readings, prayers, and songs, and they regularly join me in leading the opening and dismissal part of the assembly. As part of their role, they learn how to write and say prayers, and they practise speaking clearly and thoughtfully in front of others.
Members of the Worship Group also play an important role in modelling our school’s Christian values. Through their behaviour and attitudes, they show other pupils what it means to live out these values.
In addition to their weekly involvement in school worship, the group also represents the school at special services both in church and within the wider community. Their participation reflects their commitment and helps strengthen the strong links between the school, the church, and the local area.
We are proud of our Worship Group and grateful for the positive contribution they make to our school community throughout the year - The Revd Canon Adewole Foluso Adedipe.
