There are places where flourishing in rural ministry is still not just possible, but probable. With a committed team of experienced, generous and widespread laity, several fledgling missional offerings and – critically, an underpinning with prayer – this post comes with the quiet, but genuine expectation of growth for all.
We are praying for a Rector who:
- has an expansive, Bible based faith with Jesus at the centre.
- enjoys preaching and teaching from scripture in a variety of styles.
- draws energy from taking an active part in engaging with local schools.
- will prayerfully help us to develop our vision for the future and grow our churches.
- welcomes, is gifted at engaging with and offering pastoral support to everyone.
What we can offer:
- A warm and welcoming church community who have a tradition of loving their Priest well.
- A lot of good quality cake, open hearted post holders and people who pray.
- A longing to grow in faith and engage in new ways of serving our communities.
- An enabling and missionally minded patron and supportive clergy colleagues nearby.
- A well-appointed Vicarage.
