Vicar of Christ Church, Guildford

Introduction

Christ Church is a welcoming parish church, with an evangelical heritage, close to Guildford town centre in Surrey. We offer an exciting opportunity to lead a church with significant potential into its next phase. 

We are praying for a vicar who will: 

• preach clear, relevant, Bible-based sermons 
• grow Christ Church, appealing to and attracting young adults and families 
• develop and encourage a collaborative leadership team 
• think strategically and be bold to try new things 
• strengthen our outward focus to engage with our local community 

We will offer you: 

• a church that is ready to grow and adapt 
• a church family committed to caring for your wellbeing through prayer and practical support 
• a supportive churchwarden team, engaged PCC and excellent administrator 
• committed, enthusiastic and capable church members
• a large 5-bedroom vicarage next to the church

As a diocese we believe that diversity is a strength.  We actively welcome and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, particularly those who are female, younger, identify themselves as a UK Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage, or disabled, as it's essential that we reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
