The Acting Bishop of Durham invites applications for the position of Priest in Charge of Christ Church Consett, and Team Rector Designate of the new Derwent Valley Team.

We are three parishes: St John the Evangelist Church serves the town of Carterton with St Britius in the village of Brize Norton and St Mary the Virgin in the village of Black Bourton.

Lichfield Cathedral is a warm, lively and historic Cathedral in the heart of England, with a new five year programme of mission and outreach to enable us to bring the good news of the Gospel to the people of Staffordshire, north Shropshire and the Black Country, as well as the many thousands who visit or make pilgrimage each year; and to live out faithfully and joyfully our role as Mother Church to the Diocese.

We are looking for a visionary church planter to lead a planting team into the original town centre church of St Peter and St Paul as part of our diocese’s vision and strategy, supported by grant money from the national Church.
