The Bishop of Gloucester seeks to appoint a Rector to these villages at a time of great opportunity as these churches seek to grow in working together to serve their communities in mission and outreach in this stunning part of the Cotswolds, and at a time when the deanery is implementing creative and innovative collaboration.
The benefice is praying for an engaging and creative leader who will:
- enrich the faith of the church communities that they may be renewed in mission
- explore innovative ways of engagement, especially with younger generations, schools and colleges
- enjoy and nurture collaborative ministry with the clergy and lay leaders
- work as part of the deanery family, especially with a soon to be appointed Deanery Operations Lead, lay and ordained colleagues
For the right candidate, there is also the possibility of sharing a role within the Deanery Leadership Team.
