Vicar – St Andrew & St Mark, Surbiton

Introduction

St Andrew & St Mark, Surbiton are two churches in one parish where people of all faiths and none are welcomed to explore the meaning of Christianity. We are traditional in our liturgy, with a strong Eucharistic and musical tradition, but liberal in our theology and proud to be part of the Inclusive Church network.   

We are praying for a priest who: 

• Has a faith rooted in the Christian fundamentals of love and forgiveness;
• Is supportive of the principles of Inclusive Church
• Enjoys preaching theologically and spiritually stimulating sermons
• Has spiritual and emotional support mechanisms in place
• Enjoys working with articulate parishioners with varied viewpoints
• Is willing to talk about money
• Embraces the diverse needs of the whole parish community
• Enjoys life and takes full advantage of holiday entitlement
