Rector (Full Time)

Llanyblodwel, Llanymynech, Morton and Trefonen known as The Border Benefice

Location:

West Midlands

Recruiter:

Ref: JN013261

An opportunity in an established Benefice for both spiritual and personal fulfilment through the development of our four rural parishes.

 

The Border Benefice nestles in the beautiful rolling countryside of the Marches counties, where Shropshire plains merge into the hills of Wales. An area both English and Welsh in its genesis, steeped in the beginnings of industry yet, today, distinctly rural in character, our land is carved from a thousand and more years of Christian worship.

 

We are four but we are one: our parishes have developed and prospered as a single Benefice for over 20 years yet each parish maintains a proudly distinct character.

We seek a Rector to:

 

  • Guide, nurture and grow the spiritual development of our congregations;

  • Engage the children and young people of the Benefice, and strengthen links with the three primary schools;

  • Reach beyond our congregations and, through engagement and participation, return our churches to the heart of their communities;

  • Help us to seek unity by growing the relationships between the four parishes.
