Interim Minister
Christ's Church Harwood is a vibrant, well-attended parish church located east of Bolton, with a mixture of owner-occupied and social housing, and enormous potential for mission and ministry. We are looking for a pastoral, missional priest in an evangelical tradition to lead us into a new season of growth and development after a long vacancy, and help us discern the next stage for our parish, potentially involving reorganisation.
We Are Looking for a Priest Who Will
* Be a committed person of private and public faith and prayer.
* Be an enthusiastic communicator of the good news of Jesus for all ages.
* Work with us to nurture and develop new ministries, both lay and ordained.
* Be active in engaging young families and lead our work in the local schools – with a particular focus on Bolton St Catherine's Academy (Primary and Secondary).
* Support and encourage new disciples and help us grow deeper in our faith.
* Work with neighbouring parishes in the mission community to share new initiatives and support each other creatively and prayerfully.
Term
Initially a three-year appointment with the possibility of an additional three years, pending potential pastoral reorganisation.
