In addition to the two sees, the diocese is divided into three archdeaconries and 22 deaneries:
- Archdeaconry of Lincoln: Stamford; Beltisloe; Christianity; Elloe East; Elloe West; Graffoe; Grantham; Holland; Lafford; Loveden
- Archdeaconry of Lindsey: Bolingbroke; Calcewaithe and Candleshoe; Haverstoe; Grimsby and Cleethorpes; Horncastle; Louthesk
- Archdeaconry of Stow: Corringham; Isle of Axholme; Lawres ; Manlake; West Wold; Yarborough
The diocese produces a bi-monthly newspaper called Crosslincs which is edited by the Diocesan Communications Officer.

Warmth of my life.”
