Introduction

Christ Church Clifton, Bristol

Inviting everyone to follow Jesus

We are a vibrant, Word-and-Spirit-filled church family in the heart of Clifton. We love Jesus and are learning to follow Him together in our mission to see heaven touch everyday lives and bring transformation to people and culture in our city.

We are prayerfully seeking a new Vicar to help lead us into the next chapter of that mission.

We are looking for a Vicar who:

• loves Jesus deeply and listens attentively to the Spirit
• is passionate about equipping the whole church for mission
• leads with confidence, humility, and a collaborative spirit
• brings proven leadership experience at a senior level
• longs to see lives transformed by the power of the gospel
• is rooted in Scripture and open to the Spirit’s leading
• is committed to Word-and-Spirit ministry
• aligns with the New Wine vision and values
• is in agreement with the CEEC basis of faith

If this resonates with you, we would love to hear from you.
