We are seeking a vicar who will lead our two churches which are active and involved as an open evangelical Christian presence in the communities we serve. With the Bible as our basis and led by the Spirit, we listen to, and try to live out, the teachings of Jesus.

At St James the Great Church, Bierton you will find an inclusive Church Family dedicated to honouring God through our worship, actions, service and fellowship.

These rural parishes lie in the beautiful Peak District National Park. The area has hundreds of thousands of visitors exploring the story of self-sacrifice during the plague at Eyam, remembering the battle of Agincourt, visiting Chatsworth House or climbing, walking and cycling on the wild moors and gritstone edges.  

In the beautiful Blackdown Hills in Devon, yet within easy reach of two county towns and the coast, we are looking for a Rector to join us in our three vibrant parishes, developing mission and work in traditional and new ways, helping us to fulfil our vision to deepen our understanding of God’s love, to grow in our commitment to Jesus Christ and to communicate this more effectively within our communities.
