Pastoral Priest

This role is an interim post for three years pending further funding but with the hope it will continue thereafter.

Kerrier is the most southerly Deanery in the Diocese of Truro. It is a largely rural area with one town and many scattered villages and hamlets looking out onto a dramatic and beautiful coastline.

The Deanery has taken a dynamic, fresh approach to ministry in today’s context seeking to build on existing teams and pioneer new expressions of faith within communities. They have already laid many of the foundations of this approach and are now looking for a Pastoral Priest to join them on this journey who will be housed in the village of Constantine.

We are united as disciples and witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ. With a team ministry and shared resources, we foster and develop the worship and work of our sixteen parishes. We seek to nurture our congregations, and to serve our communities and to bring others to the knowledge and the love of God.

Do you have a heart for people and a commitment for pastoral care?
Are you able to recruit and train lay people to work in pastoral teams?
Are you a prayerful leader who thrives on working as part of a team?
Can you connect with people and meet with them where they are?
Loving God, loving the people and loving the place is essential for you to flourish in this role.

If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
