Rector for St Mary's, Bletchley - Archdeaconry of Buckingham

Introduction

St Mary’s, Bletchley is a vibrant, diverse, parish of 30,000 people within the rapidly growing city of Milton Keynes. Over the last ten years community outreach has grown substantially and we’ve been the sending church for three plants within the Deanery. 

We long to keep sharing Jesus in fresh ways that will connect with our community. We welcome your leading in response to the Holy Spirit.

We are already praying for a new Rector who:

•    has a heart for community outreach;

•    is a servant-hearted mission enabler who can manage a staff team and develop giftings across all ages;

•    is able to develop vision and strategy collaboratively;

•    is committed to encouraging all ages to grow in their discipleship; 

•    brings the Bible to life in an accessible, yet deep, way;

•    has a life and ministry rooted in prayer and led by the Holy Spirit.

We can offer:

•    a warm and welcoming, intergenerational, church;

•    a staff team, and a growing group of committed leaders and volunteers;

•    a Deanery open to creative mission;

•    a 5-bedroom detached Rectory;

•    a supportive church that will pray for you, respect your time off and provide time for your own spiritual growth and mission.
