Introduction

KZcFeMmJOF24hzfTbLREXkx7OGNEgbhSyKV7jy3i.jpg

We are an emerging plurality of three parishes on the beautiful Isle of Wight, seeking an inspiring and prayerful priest to lead us into our next chapter. Rooted in a rich mix of village and town communities, with a warm welcome for visitors and a commitment to our resident families, we offer a modern rectory, excellent transport links to the mainland, and a stunning natural environment.

We are looking for someone who will:

  • lead the plurality in discerning God’s direction and responding in faith;
  • shape a culture of prayer, discipleship and spiritual growth;
  • develop a missional focus, particularly among children, young people and families.

If you are comfortable with a range of worship styles and ready to be part of something exciting, we would love to hear from you. This role is a Lord Chancellor patronage appointment.
