St Columba (adjacent to St Herbert and St John)
Full-time
10th November 2025

We seek a House-for-Duty minister in the parish of St Columba (adjacent to St Herbert and St John). The committed congregation are praying for a minister who will enable them to develop their mission and reach out to all in the parish, including children and young people.

This post serves one parish, and there is just one church (with a superb, multi-function building), so there is a real opportunity to work for growth here.

For details (including all relevant safeguarding and appointment policies) go to the Vacancies page of Durhamdiocese.org

For an informal conversation, please contact:
