In glorious open country in the heart of England, the Culworth Benefice embraces three villages and one hamlet with a population of around 1600. The parishes work well together and support each other. South Northamptonshire is one of England’s little known treasures and is markedly rural, with ancient villages in addition to market towns. The villages are warm and hospitable places. People view the Rector and the Church as essential parts of the fabric of life.

St Giles’ and St George’s, Ashtead is a large, lively, well-resourced evangelical Anglican church. We offer a breadth of expressions of worship and mid-week ministry to help us to fulfil our mission statement, “Transforming communities by knowing Christ and making Him known.”

Manchester Diocese has an inspiring vision for 2030 and we have already started on our journey towards this, as evidenced by our successful application last year for Transformation Funding and the roll-out of ambitious new programmes, all designed to release new missional energy and creativity.

Do you have a passion for evangelism and church growth? Do you long to see local churches translating vision into practice? Do you relish the challenge to develop and shape our strategy and to put it into action at a local level, in partnership with key players?
