A Self-Supporting Minister in the Anglo Catholic tradition is sought to lead this church in the pleasant London suburb of Barkingside. St Francis's is going through a period of change and renewal, with a new PCC elected who are keen to build upon the work of the past to grow this church spiritually and numerically.
The parish is looking for a priest who will love working with them and helping them to share the Gospel, who can lead change confidently yet empathetically, and who is willing to give of their best to this church and its parish, in a way manageable for a Self-Supporting Minister. In return, the parish offers: a newly-formed PCC with a goodly number of officers; a manageable and well-maintained modern church building and an excellent parish hall, all set on a popular high street.
