Could your next step be ours too?

St Mary’s is a welcoming church in Kippington, a leafy corner of Sevenoaks - one of the South East’s most attractive towns, with an outstanding choice of schools and London just 30 minutes away.

We are a church looking to the future - growing in numbers and blessed with committed lay leadership. After some changes in parish structure, we now seek a settled season as a single parish. The interim post is explained more fully in the Parish Profile.

We’re praying for someone who will:

• Be an approachable, prayerful presence, rooted in Scripture
• Relish our breadth of worship in the Central tradition
• Delight in ministering across the generations - from our faithful longstanding members to the young families joining us
• Encourage and build up our able lay team
• Build on our growing links with local schools and the wider town
• Help us renew our place at the heart of our community
  

In return, you’ll find:

• A growing congregation eager to welcome you
• An active, supportive PCC and secure finances
• An excellent modern Parish Centre
• A spacious five-bedroom vicarage close to the church
