Rector for Betchworth & Buckland United Benefice (0.5)

 

Our semi-rural parishes at the foot of the North Downs are seeking a traditional Rector with a challenging preaching style, strong communication and leadership skills and dedication to care and guide our busy pre-occupied communities. Importantly, we need someone to be a visible and active presence in our villages. Pastoral skills are essential, but we are realistic about the limited resources this part time post provides. We are looking for a fresh approach to challenge us to be the congregations that   new people wish to be part of, to stimulate and educate our journey in faith, and ideally to love church music.

 

We have a modern 4 bedroom detached rectory in the centre of Betchworth,

complete with an office/study room. Your challenges will include:

  • reinforcing the church at the heart of the community and the community at the heart of the church.
  • encouraging and recruiting more people to take on key roles.
  • reviewing our current worship and considering its relevance to all ages.
  • extending our outreach to encompass our local schools, our care homes and newcomers to the parishes.

For an informal conversation with the Archdeacon, please contact [email protected]

 

Closing Date: Sunday 19 March 2023 at midnight

Date of Parish Visit & Interview: Thursday 20 April 2023

 

We have a policy in Southwark Diocese that to be appointed to an incumbent status post, a priest must have served a title post in an Anglican church in the British Isles. We aim to be a diverse and truly representative Diocese, and particularly welcome applications from women and people of UKME heritage.
