Rector

(full time stipendiary post)

To serve and lead in the Benefice of Kings Bromley, The Ridwares and Yoxall

We are a newly formed benefice set in South Staffordshire and neighbouring the Cathedral city of Lichfield. We are praying for a Rector who will provide leadership and imagination as we seek God’s vision for the future together. This is an exciting opportunity to take forward the mission of these parishes in their communities. A house for duty colleague will be appointed to work alongside the Rector.

We are looking for a Priest who:

• Is passionate about rural ministry, recognising that our village churches are churches for the whole community;
• Will motivate and encourage members of the church in their ministry;
• Is flexible in approach, respecting existing traditions while not being afraid to innovate;
• Will encourage others to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ.

The Rectory is a four bedroomed detached house, situated in the village of Kings Bromley.
