The Parish of Chingford seeks a prayerful and committed Rector to lead our friendly, diverse, and musical congregations as we make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
We only ask that you are rooted in the Anglican tradition, devoted to God through Word and sacraments, and can help us flourish in worship, discipleship, and mission.
With God’s help and ours, we hope you can grow our congregation, develop links with local schools and communities, engage those who know little about church, preach constructively and challengingly, motivate us to contribute our gifts, and nurture our high standard of traditional choral services.
While committing to the daily office and Parish life, please lead us through our aspirations:
- enhancing each church as a community focal point for all age groups;
- sustaining and increasing our Choirs’ remarkable musical outreach and offering to God;
- making our worship more inclusive of teenagers and young adults, and those seeking baptism; and
- collaborating to fundraise refurbishment of our buildings, ideally using your previous experience in Parish stewardship.
Please be our role model in your spiritual discipline, reliance on God, and personal and professional conduct. In return, you can be assured of the welcome, support and prayers of our entire Parish of Chingford family.
You would have a large and well-appointed detached 4-bedroomed Rectory in a good position for facilities and with excellent transport links to central London.
