for estate ministry in Exeter The parish of Heavitree with St Mary Steps,

Goffs Oak St James has a small highly committed but older congregation, while the monthly Family Praise has attracted many new families.

Our Benefice is just west of Stafford and the four churches cover several rural villages. Farming is the main local activity but there are also significant numbers of commuters who work in the surrounding towns and cities. All our churches are within a 3 mile radius from the rectory, which is in Haughton, the largest village.

This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled trainer, enabler and encourager to work alongside clergy and lay leaders in Billingham Team Parish with the specific task of encouraging and equipping lay people in a range of ministries.
