Are you up for helping us reach 1.5 million people with the good news of Christ?
The next Archdeacon of Macclesfield will be many things: organised, experienced, inspiring, approachable, kind, and prayerful. They will be committed to excellence in safeguarding. They will be passionate advocates for the people and communities of this Diocese, especially those who are most disadvantaged. They will be a great team player, a clear communicator, and a gift of a colleague. Above all, though, they will love Jesus and love people.
Is God calling you to serve as the next Archdeacon of Macclesfield?
If God might be calling you, and especially if you don’t feel very confident, please do be in touch for an informal conversation with Bishop Mark.
Applicants must have excellent attention to detail, manage processes well, and have significant experience in parish ministry. We lament the lack of visible diversity in our senior team and particularly encourage applications which will address this.
