Do you have a heart for church growth? Can you attract and encourage children and young people? Then come and join what God’s doing with us!
This is an exciting opportunity to work with three closely-linked churches in a beautiful part of Yorkshire.
The Calder Valley, in the South Pennines, is mid-way between Leeds and Manchester and enjoys a rural feel yet with good links to nearby towns and cities.
Each of the three churches has its own strengths, including active lay leadership and strong roles within their local communities, while each also has an appetite for more.
We are looking for a priest who will stimulate and manage our growth, our spiritual commitment to God and our service to our local communities. In return we will offer you our support, prayers and practical help from the people of our diverse congregations and parishes.
The Diocese of Leeds is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders are expected to share this commitment.
