The Blackthorn Chase Benefice in North Buckinghamshire will be a new rural benefice. It is being created from four parishes east of Buckingham town. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone seeking an exciting challenge.  

St Barnabas is a growing, evangelical charismatic Anglican church. Prominently placed in a cosmopolitan area close to the centre, our church gathers up to 300 people on Sundays across all ages and stages of life from Cambridge and its surrounding villages.

Our vibrant and active Benefice is seeking someone to become part of a new team. Our vision is to be a family of six churches reaching out into the community, sharing Christ’s love and making disciples. We share in the diocesan vision of telling a joyful story, growing God’s kingdom and building our capacity for good.

The ancient Devon town of Totnes and its surrounding rural parishes offer a unique context for ministry, spanning the spectrum from the firmly traditional to the decidedly unconventional. Faithful churches with a commitment to excellent worship and pastoral care work alongside a wide range of local organisations including Dartington Hall, Schumacher College, and the Sharpham Estate in an exceptionally rich and varied cultural environment. There are areas of severe deprivation and considerable wealth.
