Full-time Rector

We are seeking a strategic, imaginative and pastoral priest to lead our diverse parish at a pivotal moment in Harlow’s regeneration.

St Paul’s (a Major Parish Church) sits in the rapidly developing town centre, while St Mary’s is a beautiful historic church on the edge of new housing. Together, we are united in our strong evangelical roots and desire to grow new disciples, deepen our life of prayer and worship, and serve our diverse community with compassion.

We are praying for someone who will:

• Offer wise, strategic leadership and develop leadership gifts in others.

• Have a passion for growing faith especially in our young people.

• Engage confidently with civic partners and community organisations.

• Help us make the most of significant mission opportunities as Harlow grows and with additional resources from the Diocesan Investment Programme.

We offer you warm, open congregations; a committed ministry team; strong community and civic links; and our prayers.
