This single church Parish is warm, welcoming and growing. Located in the heart of Downley, we curate an outward looking fellowship who live God’s love both in our worship and through service of our neighbours. Our congregation is diverse and active, with a longstanding passion of community outreach, building projects and charity partnerships across the village.
With a congregation of around 60 and a range of worship styles, we are committed to being an inclusive church where all can encounter Jesus. We have initiated and remain engaged in significant community ministry, including foodbank provision (One Can Trust), therapy support through Growing Hope, and work with Wycombe Homeless Connection.
We are looking for a Team Vicar who:
• will help us grow in spiritual depth, prayer and discipleship
• is lit up by the work of the Holy Spirit in worship, prayer and mission
• sees the eternal value of developing lay leadership
• can step into what God is already doing and discern, with us, God’s future hope
• has strong pastoral instincts and is inclusive and welcoming of all
• will further encourage outreach among families and those not yet connected to church
What we can offer:
• A committed and loving church community with a strong culture of welcome and service
• Well exercised fundraising skills and the opportunity to use them in upgrading our fabric
• An experienced ministry team and active and gifted volunteers
• A flexible, well-used church building and hall
• A four-bedroom vicarage close to the church
• Administrative support and a part-time ministry that matches expectations
We are prayerful about the future and eager to grow as a church where the Holy Spirit is welcomed and where more people come to know Jesus Christ.
