Introduction

The Diocese of Lincoln is excited to invite applications for a collaborative, mission‑minded and prayerful priest to lead a newly formed four‑village coastal benefice on the beautiful East Lincolnshire coast. This key Oversight Minister role supports a diverse cluster of churches within the Coastal Local Mission Partnership and plays a central role in shaping worship, discipleship, and community life.

• A blend of urban‑adjacent coastal ministry and peaceful rural village life.
• Strong lay teams including Readers, ALMs, Focal Ministers, worship leaders, pastoral teams and active PCCs.
• Worship that is largely Eucharistic and traditional, with lay-led Services of the Word and fifth-Sunday joint services.
• Churches open daily, thriving community groups, concerts, quizzes, beach activities, festivals and school partnerships.

We Offer

• Top‑10 stipends nationally, excellent housing standards and full property maintenance.
• A fully refurbished 4‑bedroom vicarage in Ingoldmells, with modern kitchen/bathrooms, double glazing and planned solar panels.
• Wellbeing support including EAP, Health Cash Plan (optional), counselling access, CMD programmes and annual retreat provision.
