This is a wonderful invitation to explore ministry in a rural context, leading the whole community with compassion and sensitivity, wisdom, and love, into a new hope-filled chapter of abundant life.

Do you have a heart for rural ministry? Enjoy connecting with the wider community and want to lead a benefice with a vision to do the same? Want to inspire the next generation?

We are a new grouping of five parishes located in rural South Somerset centred around Somerton, the ancient capital of Wessex, following the recent re-organisation in the Ivelchester Deanery. We expect to become a new Benefice shortly and eagerly await the vital missing piece of our faith and community jigsaw – a new Priest in Charge.

Would you like to join our Ministry Team in rural northwest Devon, where we are seeking the new things God is revealing amongst and around us?
