Lead a Prayerful, Hope‑Filled Church Family into a New Season of Growth and Mission.
St John’s Walton and St Peter’s Holymoorside, located in Chesterfield on the edge of the beautiful Peak District National Park, are warm, prayerful and mission-minded churches, rooted in Scripture and eager to grow in faith, unity and outreach across two vibrant worshipping communities.
This new season offers an exciting opportunity for a collaborative, Spirit-led priest to shape a shared vision, nurture ministry across all ages, develop St John’s as a potential resourcing church, strengthen connections with the wider community as well as working with a neighbouring parish to create new opportunities for partnership, mission and growth.
A loving, prayerful church family
A parish eager for vision and growth
Strong lay ministry and team culture
A well‑maintained, spacious vicarage
A beautiful and strategic location
