Rector

Cheltenham
Full-time
6th September 2026
Listed today

Located on the Western edge of Cheltenham, we are a single parish with open evangelical and charismatic character and heritage, comprising the three sister congregations of St Mark’s Church; St Barnabas Church; and St Aidan & St Silas Church.

God is at work across our three churches, in our schools, and among the diversity of our communities. We are seeking a Rector who will offer leadership to our Ministry Team, and will help us to respond to the opportunities and challenges for ministry and mission across the whole parish.

We are praying that God will call a visionary leader and team builder with a heart for mission, who is led by the Spirit, and has a compelling love to preach God’s Word, to join us.

You will be supported in this work by our committed Ministry Team, the PCC and the leadership of each of the three churches.
