The Bishop is seeking to appoint a new vicar to the lovely seaside village of Rottingdean, a couple of miles to the east of Brighton and a single parish benefice. The church is at the heart of the village, it has been beautifully reordered, and the opportunities for an energetic priest, working with this willing and committed congregation, are considerable.
Andover Parish is entering a significant season of growth and renewal. We are looking to appoint 2 Associate Ministers in the coming year (one now), with complementary giftings, to join our team at this pivotal moment.
Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich We are praying for an Associate Vicar with an enthusiasm for multiplying mission and growing our church.
We are seeking an incumbent who is compassionate, prayerful and wise: a leader with experience of building relationships with the local community, particularly with young people, children and families.
We serve 5 villages near the town of St Neots, in beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside within 30 mins drive to Cambridge or Peterborough.
