Vicar (House-for-Duty post), St Francis L.E.P. Church, Banbury

Introduction

We are an inclusive Ecumenical community – encouraging difference, welcoming diversity and seeking unity where we can. St Francis’ is a church with a big heart, a strong sense of community, and a deep desire to grow in faith and service. We are ready for a vicar who will share our journey, nurture our gifts, and offer compassion and vision within our shared ministry.

We are praying for a vicar who embodies the following qualities:

• Prayerful and Spirit-led,
• Compassionate and inclusive
• Collaborative and empowering
• Visionary and outward-looking

We seek a vicar who will journey with us in our vision—one who will inspire, empower, and join with our other partner ministers in leading us into the next chapter of our shared life. 

A modern vicarage is provided.
