With one Sunday Service (10am), a parish of 254 households, a vibrant youth group and committees chaired by able and generous others, we simply seek a Priest to be embedded in our community, working with us and with our incumbent to make Christ known.
As such, we’d like an Associate Minister who:
• will enjoy being part of our thriving village life and help us to make the transforming love of Jesus known
• has a firm, Bible-based faith with Jesus at the centre and enjoys preaching and teaching from scripture in a way that is relevant today
• will lead worship in a variety of styles and in a way that engages with young and old
• will work collaboratively with our incumbent (who lives in a different village) and other clergy, and provide pastoral support in an approachable manner
• is ready to enable our small groups and lay leaders to flourish
What we can offer:
• a single village community focus
• a freedom from parish administration
• a deep concern for the suffering world
• a longing to grow in faith and deepen our service to our community
• great links to our local church primary school
• a large comfortable 4-bedroom house located in the centre of the village
• excellent transport links to London (40 mins by train) and Oxford
