Do you have a passion to see stronger and deeper relationships between our schools and church communities? Are you able to think creatively, particularly when it comes to the mission of the church to bring schools and parishes together?
The PCC at St John’s Buckhurst Hill, a lively evangelical Anglican church, have created an exciting new role for an Associate Pastor.
Situated in the district of Davidson’s Mains, a former village in the north west of Edinburgh and 3 miles from the City Centre, we are a friendly and welcoming congregation. Our new Rector will be someone who engages both pastorally and spiritually with the congregation and the local community, leading us forward in worship and outreach.
We wish to appoint a director both ambitious and imaginative who can work collaboratively as part of our mission in the community.
We are currently looking for someone with good communication skills and the ability to work with a wide range of people.
