Local Minister of Christ Church, Redhill

and

Associate Priest of Wrington with Redhill & Langford, Burrington & Butcombe

Would you like to work in a rural benefice but be centred in just one small church?  Then this is the opportunity.  Thanks to a 19th Century trust, with us you have the opportunity of being the Local Minister of just one small village (Population: 400, Electoral Roll: 22) and of being in that church every Sunday!

 We are seeking someone who:

• thrives in rural ministry and enjoys the challenge of leading just one church 
• likes to be visible, active and known in the community
• enjoys working collaboratively with others

Someone who:

• is keen to work with young families who are actively exploring their faith
• would enjoy worshipping in and working alongside a small congregation
• enjoys teaching in small groups
• has a proven ability to work with the wider community

We can offer you:

• the enthusiastic support of a small, committed team of volunteers based in Redhill
• the support of an experienced incumbent, three licensed Readers and a Benefice Administrator
• the freedom to use your God-given skills across the wider Wrington benefice (5 churches)
• a modern 4 bedroomed house just off the A38
• proximity to the Mendip hills, the North Somerset coast and the cultural centres of Bath and Bristol.        For further travel, it’s just 5 minutes to Bristol International Airport or 2½  hours by train to London

For an informal conversation, please speak to Revd David Gent, Rector of Wrington, on 07773 537626 or 01934 862348.
