We offer a warm Christian welcome to an area where the churches serve the community through the Thrive Project (a winner of the King’s Award for Voluntary Service). Our churches have experienced members in the wider congregation and serving as Church Officers who are able to offer practical assistance. We are seeking to grow in numbers, and in discipleship. We have a background of working together as parishes and look forward to working together with our new incumbent. We understand the pressures of ministry and offer our pastoral support to a successful candidate, as well as our respect for the privacy, time and wellbeing of our Vicar (and if applicable, their family).

Following a full review of the parsonages in the Diocese it has been decided that the vicarage at Clarksfield does not meet the standards we would hope to offer our clergy.
