Introduction

We are six parishes on the lovely southern shore of the Solway where we believe that there is great potential for the church to be a reinvigorated asset within our village communities.

We are praying for a new priest who:
  • Takes a central theological position and is able to embrace a range of practice and traditions in growing congregations.
  • Understands rural ministry, and who can help us to be sustainable spiritually, practically, and financially.
  • Has welcoming policies on open baptism, and on marriage, and who is inclusive in relation to diversity.
  • Is keen to offer pastoral and cultural support to families, children, and our schools.
  • Will lead pastoral care, and its oversight. 
  • Can be a leader and guide in lay ministry, a core element in our Benefice Plan.
  • Is willing to be visible and active in all aspects of community life.
  • Will respect parish identities whilst working with interdenominational partners, becoming a gentle unifying force in our communities and congregations.

This is a full-time stipendiary post (£30,912)
