Incumbent (0.5)

The Patrons and the Bishop of Chichester seek to appoint an Incumbent (half-stipend) who will offer a dynamic evangelistic, pastoral and liturgical ministry, as we seek to know, love and follow Jesus.

We are praying for a priest who will:

• celebrate the broad, diverse and generous culture across the Benefice
• serve with joy and warmth in their pastoral ministry, sustained by their own deep faith in Christ and with confidence in liturgical and eucharistic worship
• support and develop our existing relationship with our Church of England, and other schools
• be a visionary priest who is gifted in collaborative leadership
• be a gifted communicator of God’s grace

We offer:

• a generous and hospitable church family with a keenness to reach out in love and service to the wider community
• Church of England Schools
• Committed volunteers and administrative support
• Beautiful and historic churches
• A spacious vicarage in the beautiful village of Bury
• A collaborative Deanery within the Diocese of Chichester, where our vision is ‘to know, love and follow Jesus.’
