Associate Minister (House for Duty) for the Benefice of Latimer & Flaunden

Introduction

We are looking for an Associate Minister (HfD) to serve our two churches of St. Mary Magdalene, Latimer, and St. Mary Magdalene, Flaunden, and to work within the wider Benefice Team in return for occupation of a well-appointed four-bedroom house in Latimer village. These two beautiful village churches (a mile or so apart) form part of the wider Chenies Benefice. They lie just outside the M25, to the north of the commuter towns of Chorleywood and Amersham, and in the beautiful Chess Valley.

We are looking for the right person with a deep faith in Jesus Christ and a strong sense of calling, who:

•    lives out gospel ministry faithfully, naturally and confidently

•    will lead us forward as together we worship God and serve Him

•    enjoys rural ministry and village community life

•    welcomes the opportunity to encourage families while ministering equally to the more elderly amongst our congregations

•    will relish the challenge of seeing our congregations grow and flourish.

We can offer:

•    A warm and friendly welcome

•    Welcoming congregations and committed and supportive PCCs

•    The support of the Rector and the Benefice Administrator

•    An opportunity to live in a community surrounded by beautiful countryside with excellent local schools and good transport links to London 

•    Opportunities to develop your own ministry, vocation and growth in Christ

•    Full reimbursement of expenses

Lay and ordained, we are all looking forward to meeting the person whom God is calling to minister with us in these parishes and in the Team.
