A fabulous full-time post in the glorious Cheshire Countryside
The picturesque and supportive parishes of Marton, Siddington with Capesthorne, Eaton with Hulme Walfield, and Swettenham.
- Our group of well-established and ancient churches within four parishes, that reach from the fringes of Congleton to deepest rural Cheshire, is looking for a new spiritual leader and friend who will immerse themselves in the lives of our diverse communities.
- We want to grow as independent but interdependent churches developing our relevance to our communities.
- We offer the opportunity to experience rural life in a traditional setting with a modern outlook, alongside people whose faith is deep, and while frequently understated is lived out with authenticity and commitment in their daily lives.
- We are looking for someone who is passionate about rural ministry and is excited by the possibilities and prepared for the challenges.
- Vision for work with our C of E aided primary school and its role in our parishes is a priority.
- Our Vicar must be a team player who can delegate effectively to groups of committed volunteers in each church and be willing to work alongside an excellent admin team and a group that knits the parishes together by sharing skills, experience and mutual support.
