Team Vicar (0.5 FTE), Whitchurch, Hardwick and Hoggeston - Schorne Benefice, North Buckinghamshire

Introduction

Three beautiful rural parishes within a supportive, fully staffed team, seek a priest to serve our welcoming and thriving village communities. Our churches offer a wellspring of worship that underpins a strong pastoral presence. This affords us a valued place in village life which we hope to renew via fresh engagement with younger generations and new residents. 

We are looking for someone who will: 

•             lead worship and preach with clarity and warmth; 

•             be visible and pastorally engaged in the life of our villages; 

•             encourage growth in faith, mission and confidence in the risen Christ; 

•             foster links with schools and the wider farming community; 

•             gladly work collaboratively and develop a lay ministry for all ages. 

We offer: 

•             supportive congregations and committed, cheerful PCCs; 

•             a prayerful and genuinely collegial clergy team; 

•             opportunities to shape sustainable rural ministry and outreach; 

•             a well-appointed family Rectory in Whitchurch.
