Priest-in-Charge 0.5 FTE (5 year fixed term) vacancy in London and Home Counties

We are looking for someone to join us and inspire our mission to reach those who do not yet know the Good News of Jesus Christ in our fast-growing village.

We hope that our new Priest-in-Charge will bring:

• Creative ideas and a passion for mission with proven relevance to family and/or children’s work.

• The personality and charisma to connect with families, children and young people while also having a love for our older worshippers.

• A sensitive pastoral attitude based on a strong personal faith in the Lord Jesus, and a desire to display his character in all aspects of life.

• Gifts to teach the Bible in an expository and culturally relevant way, while respecting the authority of Scripture.

• Relevant ministry experience, able to demonstrate leadership and organisation skills.

We can offer:

• Exciting opportunities to build the church in a village which has grown significantly in recent years.

• A strong core of committed members keen to embrace new initiatives and give the new priest our full support.

• Lovely rural location close to the City of Oxford, with good transport links and several market towns close by.

• A modern, well-appointed 5-bedroomed rectory with good local schools.
