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

An energetic pastor and missional leader is sought for our five villages in rural North East Leicestershire, where newcomers remark on the friendly welcome they receive. We have a great community spirit, work well together and are looking to grow further in our faith and mission, reaching out to people of all backgrounds and beliefs.  

Located in stunning north Shropshire close to the historic market town of Oswestry and nearby picturesque Shrewsbury, our two adjacent parishes are Whittington and West Felton. The rectory, located in Whittington, is only a short walk past the picturesque castle to the church.

The successful candidate will develop the worshipping life and outreach of a community accustomed to high standards of church music.
