Ref: JN013195

Pretty parishes WLTM fun, energetic vicar for long-term commitment. Must have GSOH.

Our eight rural churches are deeply rooted in our local communities. We’re well organised and work effectively together, with a strong team of lay and ordained volunteers.

Between us, we run toddler groups, kids work, school assemblies, life groups, social events, pastoral care and musical groups across our villages. We also provide a range of traditional, informal and innovative Sunday and midweek services.

Our group of parishes sit amongst farmland, rolling hills, huge quarries, pretty villages and vibrant market towns. We have many great opportunities - and a few challenges - as we seek to ‘live and tell the story of Jesus’.

We’re on a mission to deepen our faith and share it more effectively with our neighbours. We’d love your empowering leadership to help us do that better!
