We are a rural benefice, west of Stafford, made up of 6 churches in 5 parishes who enjoy working and worshipping together. We wish to appoint a Rector who understands the challenges of rural ministry and who has an imaginative approach to mission. Our ministry team is very supportive and although our congregations are small they are very faithful and committed.
We need a leader who:
- has the vision to encourage and enable us within the limits of our resources.
- can help us reach out to a wider age range to grow our churches.
- can be an active presence in our communities and take advantage of the many active groups within our villages.
- can enable creative ways for people to experience church.
