Team Rector of the Benefice of Beaconsfield and Rector of St Michael and All Angels Church

Introduction

The Diocese of Oxford, and Magdalen College, Oxford as the patrons, seek to appoint to the Benefice of Beaconsfield which consists of three churches, under the overall ministry of a Team Rector. We are looking for a full-time stipendiary incumbent who will combine the duties of Rector of St Michael and All Angels Church with the duties of Team Rector for the Parish.  

St Michael’s is a welcoming and inclusive modern-catholic church. Prayer, sacramental worship and community lie at our heart: every Sunday service is Eucharistic, enriched by Anglican liturgy, choir and organ.

We are looking for a Team Rector who:

•    will joyfully preside at the Eucharist and deepen our sacramental life

•    respects the sanctity of our modern-catholic tradition while gladly embracing the breadth of the Church

•    can draw thoughtfully on liturgy, to nourish worship, preaching and discipleship

•    leads openly and generously, helping three distinctive churches flourish as one family

•    engages warmly with children, families, schools and people exploring faith

•    combines prayerful vision, compassionate pastoral care with clear leadership and organisation

What we can offer:

•    a loving, supportive church family eager to welcome you and help you feel at home with paid administrative support

•    beautiful Eucharistic worship, excellent music, a gifted laity and two full-time ordained colleagues

•    three individual churches in the Beaconsfield Team, with a growing team ethos and genuinely generous spirit

•    time for retreat, study and spiritual development

•    a characterful four-bedroom parsonage beside St Michael’s, close to key local amenities and transport links
