We are praying for someone who:
- Is Spirit-led and prayerful, able to teach and encourage deeper discipleship through Sunday worship and throughout the week, helping to grow a ‘praying church’.
- Will work alongside established and thriving volunteer-led community engagement, seeking to deepen faith connections amongst those who engage with church from the community.
- Has the ability and experience to nurture lay leadership in every aspect of church life.
- Can lead, develop and encourage pastoral care across congregation and community.
- Has a heart for growth in every way across all generations.
- Values and promotes diversity, equality and inclusion.
The new Vicar would be encouraged to work with the PCC to establish adaptable and flexible working practice.
The Parish Church is brick-built with well-maintained Halls on the same plot that are used extensively throughout the week by church and community. There is no Churchyard.
The Benefice is in the south-eastern corner of Derby Diocese and forms part of Long Eaton town. There is a strong manufacturing heritage in the area.
The Vicarage is a large 4-bedroomed 1970s house about 5 minutes from the Church, with a well-established garden and a range of out-buildings.
