Pastoral Priest in Kerrier Deanery, Cornwall
Constantine, Falmouth
This role is an interim post for three years pending further funding but with the hope it will continue thereafter.
Kerrier is the most southerly Deanery in the Diocese of Truro. It is a largely rural area with one town and many scattered villages and hamlets looking out onto a dramatic and beautiful coastline.
The Deanery has taken a dynamic, fresh approach to ministry in today’s context seeking to build on existing teams and pioneer new expressions of faith within communities. They have already laid many of the foundations of this approach and are now looking for a Pastoral Priest to join them on this journey who will be housed in the village of Constantine.
We are united as disciples and witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ. With a team ministry and shared resources, we foster and develop the worship and work of our sixteen parishes. We seek to nurture our congregations, and to serve our communities, and to bring others to the knowledge and the love of God.
Loving God, loving the people and loving the place is essential for you to flourish in this role.
If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

Introduction
As well as stunning views of land, sea and sky, the Lizard Peninsula has a rich variety of flora and fauna. If you want to spend your days meeting fabulous people, sharing pasties, surrounded by many of God’s ‘thin places’, then this might be the post for you!
We are united as disciples and witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ. With a team ministry and shared resources, we foster and develop the worship and work of our sixteen parishes. We seek to nurture our congregations, and to serve our communities, and to bring others to the knowledge and the love of God.
We are a small team working alongside may lay people, but we are passionate about seeing this Plan come to fruition. Kerrier’s Plan is radical, but one where we believe we can best serve our people within our congregations and in the wider community. We would love to welcome a priest who has a similar passion to work as part of a team and to bring more people into a loving relationship with Jesus.
