Job Description:
House for Duty Vicar of Holme in Cliviger St John the Divine
This is a House for Duty post, working two days mid week, plus Sundays.
The church of St. John the Divine is located in the tranquil village of Holme Chapel in the parish of Cliviger, which lies on the outskirts of Burnley in East Lancashire. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and with breathtaking views. The town is ideally located for the motorway network and many of the most scenic parts of the country.
Our Vision is
* To develop our mission and ministry for young families and children especially our relationship with St John’s School, creating innovative worship.
* To continue the strengths of existing patterns of worship, and develop and grow the existing Sunday morning congregation.
* Helping our whole church family to become more confident in our relationship with God through Jesus, especially through prayer and the scriptures, so we may become true disciples of Jesus.
We are looking and praying for a priest who
* has an active faith in Jesus Christ, that shapes and influences all aspects of their ministry
* is resilient, full of energy and enthusiasm.
* is warm and welcoming, and a good listener, able to foster positive working relationships.
* will encourage the community to be more involved in church life, and who has a passion for sharing the gospel.
* is able to identify and nurture gifts and talents in our lay people.
* has a great sense of humour!
* is gifted in school ministry, and is able to communicate effectively across all generations.
* will guide us into new ways of worship, but who is also a sacramental and Eucharistic Priest who values both traditional and creative Liturgy.
