Rector

Do you have:

• a commitment to preach the Word of God in thoughtful and stimulating ways,

• a pastoral heart, empathy and good listening skills,

• the ability, willingness and experience to help us to develop our less formal / modern worship services, including a wider range of musical worship and a deeper corporate prayer life - whilst recognising and valuing our heritage?

If you do, we need you!

We are seeking a Rector to lead our mission, ‘Growing in Christ, working together with the community and sharing God’s love’. If you are a spirit-filled, prayerful leader who wants to work collaboratively with the wardens, PCC, lay / retired ordained ministry teams and the congregation to further develop the growth of our children and families work and to lead our church in mission, we would love you to join us.

We are located on the edge of the North Downs, bordering the London Borough of Croydon and the County of Surrey. We can offer a warm, loving, caring, prayerful, and supportive congregation that participates actively in the ministry of the church.
