Vicar of Aigburth St Anne

Introduction

Aigburth is flourishing suburban area with excellent transport links, good quality schools and local shops and restaurants to the south of Liverpool city. Aigburth is a popular place to live and work. The parish includes four schools, including St Margaret’s Church of England Academy which is adjacent to the church. 

The parish is confident and financially sound, yet mindful of the need to change and adapt to the continuous challenges of our times. Like many churches, attendance has failed to recover to pre-pandemic levels. There is a real sense within the Parochial Church Council that, despite many past successes, they are at a crossroads, seeking a revitalisation of mission and growth.  In recent years the Deanery has explored becoming a single larger parish under the diocesan Fit for Mission scheme; St Anne’s has remained as a single parish, with the process identifying a need for change and revitalisation in mission. It is important to the parish that they remain actively engaged in collaboration in a wide and diverse Deanery that fosters team working, the sharing of best practice, and the development of real and lasting fellowship. The person called to be Vicar here will be someone committed to working and worshipping with colleagues across the breadth of the Church of England, focusing on what unites us.
