Vicar for St Peter's, Aylesbury

Introduction

We are a renewed, growing church family serving contrasting estate communities in north Aylesbury. Rooted in Quarrendon and reaching towards new housing in Buckingham Park, we share worship, hospitality and practical hope every day. This is a significant pioneering opportunity: to honour a remarkable story of revitalisation while discerning fresh, deep-seated Anglican parish ministry across each of our estates. 

We are looking for a Vicar who: 

•            has a deep love for Jesus, grounded in prayer and the Spirit

•            will be courageous in distilling worship and mission in each estate

•            leads relationally and collaboratively, equipping lay colleagues with gladness 

•            embraces creative and intergenerational worship amid abundant hospitality

•            is content to abide patiently in both people and place, holding complex lives with compassion and exhibiting safeguarding wisdom

•            can develop both our Parish Nurse outreach and our building project

What we can offer: 

•            A warm, adventurous church family of c.150 people, ready for the next step

•            Deep roots and tested relationships across diverse estate communities

•            A vibrant Breakfast Church, Community Café, and Community Garden

•            Supportive parish, deanery and diocesan colleagues, and a lovely modern 5-bedroom vicarage
