We are an urban Parish of three diverse and informal churches seeking a Rector to lead us through the next exciting chapters of our life and mission. We are focussed on being ‘church as family’, celebrating our diversity and valuing the importance of unity. We seek to be a Parish that demonstrates ‘simplicity, humility and boldness’ in our shared experience and to see them lived out in our individual lives.
You will mainly be serving the church family at St George’s, whilst providing oversight to St Peter’s and St Martin’s, with the support of a Team Vicar, four PtOs and four Lay Readers.
We are looking for a Rector who shares our values and will be:
• Faith-filled and expectant that God will grow our churches
• A prayerful disciple who loves to tell others about Jesus
• Open to the work, guidance and empowering of the Holy Spirit
• A preacher and teacher who values the bible
• Welcoming and inclusive in their approach to people
• A careful listener to the community and enabler for the churches to engage meaningfully with their Parish
We thank God for all He has done amongst us recently and we are excited about what He will do through the leadership of our next Rector. Our 3 Church Families look forward to supporting you. The only gifts and experiences we consider essential are loving Jesus and sharing that love with Our Community.
