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.
