Associate Vicar (House for Duty) - St John the Divine, New Malden

Introduction

St John’s is an evangelical church serving an area between Kingston and New Malden which is seeing change and development. It is committed to sharing the love of God with its local community.

This parish-funded ‘house for duty’ post (Sunday plus two days a week) is an exciting opportunity to lead a church committed to developing its mission and ministry.  We are looking for someone who will be:

• Dynamic and imaginative in developing a strategy for breaking new ground within the local area.
• A team player able to build on the existing mission and ministry of St John’s and to inspire, encourage, equip and deploy the gifts and ministries within the congregation.
• An inspiring preacher and caring pastor able to provide and develop biblical teaching, prayer, worship, pastoral care and loving fellowship for a diverse church.
• An evangelical Anglican who believes in the full ministry of women and men and is committed to work loyally within the Church of England and with the Diocese of Southwark and the vicar of the parish.
