The benefice was formally created in 2019 after five years of working together. It is hoped that our new Priest-in-Charge will bring drive and enthusiasm to the future development of the benefice which is set in urban and rural villages southeast of the Peak District.

To better serve our values and priorities, we are building closer partnerships between our church communities, sharing the gifts that God has given us and focussing on enabling the ministry of all God’s people.

We are the coastal resort town of Aldeburgh with its civic church and known for its world-famous annual music and arts festival, and three smaller village parishes near the beautiful Suffolk coast. Our worship is eucharistically focused and also open to contemporary-style services.

The role is located chiefly in the Port of Limassol, but will be expected to visit other ports in Cyprus.
