The Diocese was operating in four Regions namely Shinyanga, Tabora, Rukwa, and Kigoma. The Diocese has worked hard on evangelism to an extent that it managed to open many new pastorates and local churches; in the year 2006 the Diocese managed to open a new Diocese that has twenty pastorates with 4,000 church members. Currently Diocese of Shinyanga has 86 pastorates under which there are 430 local churches with approximately 20,000 church members.
