Rector of the Belton and Burgh Castle benefice
Posted on: Tuesday 3 March 2026
Belton
We are two villages located in the beautiful setting of the Norfolk broads and
situated in a popular holiday destination, part of the Borough of Great Yarmouth.
We have a wide range of amenities in the local area, including a village primary school, secondary schools within easy reach and a local hospital only a few miles away. We have excellent transport links to Norwich, our cathedral city, and the surrounding areas. The benefice has a recently purchased, four-bedroom detached Rectory.
Our priorities are:
- Growing vibrant, thriving congregations
- Strengthening community connections
- Deepening discipleship and prayer life
- Nurturing and supporting all ages
We are looking for a Rector who is
- an inspiration to others through a vibrant, growing faith
- a passionate evangelist with a vision for church growth
- a God-centred, Spirit-led leader and a clear and compelling communicator
- deeply committed to community and a compassionate shepherd
- a dynamic worship leader for both traditional and contemporary settings
