We are an established benefice in the rural beauty of mid-Staffordshire, looking for a priest who will journey with us, lead with vision, compassion and a pastoral heart, and value the gifts of both clergy and laity as we continue to grow in faithfulness and mission.
We are a healthy Team who work together to:
- Grow our own faith and deepen our Christian lives together.
- Reach out to those that have yet to respond to God’s calling.
- Support and respond to those who live in our communities.
- Be an effective team in all aspects of our mission and ministry.
We are praying for a leader who is grounded in prayer, energised by mission, ready to lead with authenticity, imagination and joy.
We hope, that if God is calling you to join us, you will:
- Lead with confidence and compassion.
- Empower others.
- Build community both within and beyond the church.
Might God be calling you to journey with us?
