St Oswald’s is a welcoming, active and inclusive church in the large village of Croxley Green, near Watford and Rickmansworth, with good transport links to London and the surrounding area. We aim to be a church living for Christ, Community and Creation.
We are looking for a vicar who:
* Connects with people of all ages and backgrounds; someone with the sensitivity to meet people where they are;
* Encourages younger people with whom we already have connections to become more involved and develop a greater sense of belonging within our church;
* Sees where change is needed, inspires and takes everyone with them. They will need to increase our visibility in the community, including in schools, and grow our church;
* Is comfortable with a wide range of styles of worship and makes faith relevant in today’s world;
* Has energy, leads by example, encourages others and has a good sense of humour.
We are keen to see our church in good shape for the next generation.
We offer:
* a warm welcome;
* a supportive, committed and loyal congregation;
* a lay ministry team including two Lay Readers and a Lay Leader of Worship;
* willing and enthusiastic volunteers who contribute to many aspects of church life;
* established connections with local schools;
* a willingness to try new things;
* well maintained buildings and grounds;
* a comfortable 4 bedroom vicarage, close to the church; and
* excellent cake!
