The churches are coming together and seek an enthusiastic, pastorally hearted, missional priest to work with them to:
- continue to grow the churches making new disciples and deepening the faith of existing church members
- develop the ministry and mission already taking place, and develop and deliver new initiatives in response to identified needs and missional opportunities
- support, and lead where currently missing, a strong ethos of pastoral care.
- nurture a rich variety of church experience and worship tradition across the churches
- develop existing community partnerships, form new ones and explore opportunities to create new worshipping communities with those partners
- maintain and further develop strong relationships with families, schools, children and youth organisations based on and developing the principles of Growing Faith
- further develop and build on the churches’ offer to visitors and pilgrims
- develop a culture of financial and missional generosity considering how they might resource to the wider Church
- support Stoney Middleton in moving to a sustainable model of governance
You would be supported by a strong team and the church members are ready to pledge their support to you and commit themselves to looking after your well-being, ensuring you do not take on unrealistic levels of work.
