The Ford Group of Parishes in beautiful North West Shropshire is seeking a Rector who has a love of the countryside and rural life, and who will work with the group to share the gospel with every generation in their communities. We will be ready to work with you by offering you a shared commitment to growing our ministry.

St Paul’s is an active parish church about 30 miles west of London in a pleasant ‘commuter belt’ community. We are praying for a new leader who can move us from being a Welcoming Church to being an Inviting Church.

We are keen to appoint a priest with a heart for urban ministry in this richly diverse context of the West Midlands. This exciting new position has been created by the merging of 2 parishes to produce the Parish of West Bromwich All Saints with St Mary Magdalene and St Philip. The Resident Minister will lead the two churches of St Mary Magdalene and St Philip’s on a 0.5 + 0.5 basis and collaborate with the Vicar/PCC in the mission of the 3 churches to the benefice.

The Diocese of Coventry is committed to creating and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workforce which represents all aspects of the communities we are part of and welcomes all applications.
