Two lively and distinct parishes in attractive rural settings, one evangelical and the other with a more traditional approach,

The Bishop of Gloucester seeks to appoint a Team Vicar for the Bishop’s Cleeve and Woolstone with Gotherington and Oxenton Team Ministry, a rapidly expanding ‘suburban’ setting of two parishes located just to the north of Cheltenham and at the foot of Cleeve Hill.

Ascension is in an exciting phase of growth, and we’re on the lookout for a Spirit-filled, experienced, competent, and humble leader to join the Vicar in taking an already flourishing and unique church community through a new season of growth.

We are looking for someone who can lead a good New Wine church (which still holds on to some of the vestiges of a pastoral-sized church) to become a great (fully transitioned to programme-sized) church. It’s a really good opportunity to build a resource church in the wonderful city of Colchester.
