Curacy Reimagined in Runcorn
- Are you committed to collaborative learning and working?
- Do you have the boldness and agility to serve your curacy as part of a cluster of town centre parishes?
- Can you minister imaginatively and creatively while remaining rooted in inherited models of church?
- Do you feel called to minister to the “forgotten corners” of God’s world?
The Bishop of Chester is seeking to appoint an ordinand to a different style of curacy.
The successful candidate will be licensed to two parishes in the town of Runcorn, Cheshire, but with a commitment to serve alongside a wider team of clergy across the town.
They will bring energy, flexibility and a deep commitment to team working. They will also have areas of special interest that they would be keen to develop during their curacy.
Alongside the wider team they will have some responsibility for nurturing new forms of church ministry alongside traditional parish ministry.
This is a full time, stipendiary curacy suitable for those sponsored for Incumbent ministry. Housing will be provided.
Parishes in the cluster:
Holy Trinity - Revd Karen Andrews
All Saints - Revd Karen Andrews
St Michael and All Angels - Revd George Roach
St Andrews - Revd Emma Speake
St Mary’s - Revd Simon Skidmore
Hallwood Parish - Revd Karen Gardiner
St. Berteline and St. Christopher - Revd Danny Sedano
St John the Evangelist - Vacant
