The Bishop of Newcastle wishes to appoint a half-time priest to be Priest in Charge to the Benefice of Whorlton St John.
Whorlton is a rapidly growing residential centre to the northwest of Newcastle city centre with the church of St John’s now at its heart.
A new priest is sought who can build on an established team to increase the welcome, presence and impact of the church as a partner in community building, sharing the transforming love of God with new and longer-term residents. We have assets including a well-loved church building with a wide sense of local ownership, an already well-used community hall, a thriving baptism ministry with potential for further growth of the other pastoral offices, along with a PCC committed to hospitality and good stewardship.
Might God be calling you, as a priest with a strong faith in God’s transforming love and an enthusiasm for reaching and growing new communities, to help us grow and be Good News for our neighbourhoods?
