- Can embrace both traditional and contemporary/charismatic worship and can inspire and equip people to grow in their faith.
- Can confidently manage a leadership team and work well with others.
- Can engage well with young families and encourage growth with children of all ages.
- Can reach out and make us more visible in the local community.
- Can handle difficult contemporary issues.
- Is approachable, welcoming and a good communicator.
- Has a working knowledge of social media.
We can offer:
- A committed, enthusiastic and open-minded support team at both parish and deanery level.
- A full-time administrator, and part-time youth leader and music director (currently a vacancy for a children & families leader).
- A large team of dedicated volunteers.
- A modern 5-bedroomed rectory.
- A warm welcome!
