We are 1 Network with 11 worshipping communities across 7 locations who all share the same vision of making disciples and building community in all we do. We are committed to the charismatic, evangelical tradition and our vision and values can be summarised as ‘Renew, Restore, Rebuild’. Being on mission with Jesus, and being disciples who make disciples is at the heart of all we are, and all we do. We seek to be intentional in this as we serve the needs of our largely deprived community and aim to continually plant new missional communities.

Our new Priest in Charge will embrace our values and style. They will be marked by their love for Jesus and an expectation to see Him transforming lives. They will bring a missional outlook, be an encourager with a pastoral heart and be able to hold our Network in a non-anxious manner. Committed to releasing lay and ordained colleagues into leadership, they will be comfortable taking faith-filled risks. They will bring the following competencies and experience:

  • Strategic outlook and without the need to be involved in everything
  • Leader of leaders who prioritises raising up others
  • Multiplication and planting of new congregations
  • Adaptive and flexible, relaxed in our diverse Network
  • Word & Spirit, comfortable ministering in the Holy Spirit
  • Confident Bible Teacher

You will not be on your own – there is an extensive Ministry Team of ordained and lay colleagues, and prayerful congregations who will love and welcome you. We work closely with the wider Diocese, who are formally recognising us as a Diocesan Resource Church, and we trust you will find valuable colleagues in the Deanery and beyond.

God has taken us on an encouraging journey in recent years, and we are looking for a new leader who believes that even greater things lie ahead!
