Saint Laurence Church, Reading with a stated mission to “see non-churched young people come to faith and to build new forms of church with them”. We are seeking an experienced vicar to lead the whole church community in the stewardship of this mission. You will understand young people’s needs in building relationships with them and nurturing their faith in innovative and creative ways – particularly those with no experience of church. If you have a passion for growing disciples and leading pastoral support across all age groups to inspire our work with young people, we would love to hear from you.

We are a large, lively, growing church family on the edge of Chesterfield who love Jesus and love people. We honour our evangelical tradition with an openness to the Holy Spirit as we seek God’s transforming presence and equipping.

A priest with energy, drive and vision is sought to lead this family-friendly church, with an Anglo-Catholic male and female choral tradition, on the next stage of its journey.

Applications are invited for the Organ Scholarship, which is generously funded by the Ripon Cathedral Music Custodians.
