Vicar of Bridlington Emmanuel and Barmston w Fraisthorpe

Introduction

Vicar

 Emmanuel Church & All Saints Barmston

 Emmanuel is a busy church, full of life and creativity and we have been encouraged to see many lives touched and transformed by God. As a church family we seek to love and worship God, trusting that he will inspire and equip us for mission. Our parish is very mixed and we have a range of ministries to serve them. We seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing God’s healing to others and being seen as a place where everyone is welcome. Our modern building enables a range of ministries and is a hub for our local community with many people, of all ages, crossing our door each week.

We seek to be a house of prayer and encourage the personal and spiritual growth of every member. We enjoy worshipping God together, in order that God will equip us to achieve our full potential and fulfil His purpose for our lives and His Church. We support All Saints, our sister church, as they maintain God’s presence in their village and serve both villagers and tourists alike. 

We don’t want or expect our Vicar ‘to do everything’. Our church life is often busy, but we have a committed team of leaders, lay and ordained, who will work alongside you and support you in your ministry. We are excited about the next stage of our journey of faith and who God is calling to join us.

About Us

The Diocese of York, led and guided by Archbishop Stephen Cottrell, takes in much of North and East Yorkshire. As the largest diocese in England, geographically, the area is very diverse, featuring a multitude of needs and opportunities. This includes the bustling urban centres of York, Hull and Middlesbrough, the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors National Park, and the incomparable Yorkshire Coast; as well as areas of deprivation in some of our urban and smaller rural and coastal communities.

 Our mission and ministry relies on thousands of people - lay and ordained, volunteer and paid. Our diocesan teams provide a wide range of support services to our mission and ministry, including lifelong learning for ministry, the care of church buildings, and safeguarding. Together, we are striving to be a people who are ‘Living Christ’s Story’. We want to be a simpler, bolder, humbler church which in its diversity reflects the communities it serves. We are bringing renewed focus and fresh energy to achieving our aims:

• Becoming more like Christ
• Reaching those we currently don't
• Growing missionary disciples who are younger and more diverse
• Transforming our finances and structures

 Our approach is aligned with a commitment to the best of our parochial inheritance, to the poorest communities, and to the financial realities we face.

Under current immigration rules, it is not generally possible for us to appoint clergy who are not already eligible to work in the UK.

The Diocese of York is is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.  Find out more here:  Safeguarding in the Diocese of York
