House for Duty Associate Minister

Two House for Duty Associate Ministers (Sunday + 2 days a week), one with a view to becoming Priest-in-Charge. One post will have a more pioneering role: to develop new, imaginative ways of being church in the community. The other post will be more traditional: to nurture and pastor those who love the traditions of the local church.

We are looking for two priests who will:

• be prayerful, believe in a Christ-centred church, are empowered by the Holy Spirit, have a pastoral heart and will help every member achieve their full potential as Christians.
• work strategically, creatively and collaboratively with the team of clergy, reader and lay leaders.
• be happy to lead both traditional and more innovative styles of worship.
• inspire, nurture and empower others to grow as disciples and service Christ in their communities.
• build strong relationships and enjoy talking with people of all ages from both inside and outside the church.
• recognise the potential of our church buildings for both mission and ministry.
• feel deeply at home in a rural setting.

We can offer you:

• A skilful leadership team and worship leaders.
• A supportive and resourceful deanery and chapter.
• A modern detached four-bedroom vicarage (with the best views in the diocese from Napton Vicarage Study!)
• A group administrator
• Three very good local primary schools - and the outstanding Southam College nearby.

Jesus tells us "I came that you may have life, and have it abundantly" {John 10:10}
