We prayerfully seek someone to actively develop the mission and ministry of our united, rural single-parish. We pray our new minister will be a warm hearted, Gospel-led, collaborative leader blessed with:
ENERGY: a spirit-led, inspiring presence; growing our community, using imaginative, collaborative, open communication skills, enjoying varied styles of worship, passionate to demonstrate the relevance of God’s word today
ENTHUSIASM: with a discerning heart for mission for all; a visible member of our community, developing relationships, building on our strong links with our church school and families, rekindling our work with youngsters, developing Lay gifts
EMPATHY: kind, compassionate and approachable, in step with our established evangelical heritage. Able to inspire and relate to all, develop our focus on warmly welcoming all; rebuilding our youth and children’s work, prayerful and servant hearted; sharing the love of Christ through insightful Gospel teaching and nurturing
As a single parish we offer you the opportunity to focus on your core vocation: priest, leader and shepherd
