With four very different villages and churches we are looking for someone who will join us in bringing faith and discipleship to our growing rural community.
We are looking for a Rector who will:
- Work with us to develop our mission and discipleship across our communities
- Help us to reach out to those moving into our villages with young families
- Be flexible and open to a diverse range of worship
- Be a part of our villages and join in with village life
We can offer:
- A strong and faithful foundation ready to take the next step together with you in faith
- A team of two LLMs, a part-time, self-employed Benefice Administrator and a Safeguarding Officer
- A Benefice Office
- A four-bedroom Rectory
- All this and beautiful and picturesque countryside within reach of Oxford, Banbury and with nearby rail-links to London and Birmingham
