Would you like to work in a rural benefice but be centred in just one small church?  Would you enjoy ministering with a hard-working group of volunteers and supportive incumbent?Would you enjoy having the delights of Bristol and the Mendips – and even an international airport – on your doorstep?  Then this is the opportunity!

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, four licensed Readers and a Benefice Administrator
• the freedom to use your God-given skills across the wider Wrington benefice (5 churches in total)
• a modern 4 bedroomed house just off the A38 (or accommodation allowance if you prefer)
• 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 2 hours by train to London

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