Introduction

We are seeking to appoint a full time Vicar of the parish of Goldington with a passion to encourage the members of St Mary’s to share their love of Jesus within the local community, whilst enabling the church to be equipped to grow spiritually in worship, prayer and care.

Our vision is to grow together as a worshipping church family, to know Jesus better and to find new ways to express our faith within our local community, and to be a safe place of joy and peace for the whole community.

We are looking for someone who:

  • will be an example of a life devoted to serving God, who builds up relationships within the community
  • will enable others to take on new responsibilities and contribute to the life of the church, whilst providing clear leadership enabling the church to grow
  • will embrace the current range of worship, extending this to reach more families and young people
  • will, as an approachable, supportive and proactive team member work closely with different groups within the church
  • will get to know the congregation so that they can grow together as one, giving each person space for their own personality to shine through
  • who understands and demonstrates the importance of the role of safeguarding within and without the church and will work with designated personnel to ensure St Mary’s is a safe place for all.
