The Bishop of Chichester as patron seeks an inspiring, collaborative and community-focussed priest and pastor for this prominent parish in East Sussex.

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.
