Found in a leafy conservation area, between the lofty Chilterns and peaceful canal-side paths, our single church parish is expectantly preparing to welcome 7,000 new residents to worship alongside us. A swift commute to London gives us confidence that the green shoots of growth we are seeing with new families are only set to continue. With pioneering potential and long-term Diocesan support, we seek a new Incumbent who is excited by that prospect.
We are looking for a Rector who:
- is kind, compassionate, both outside the church walls and within
- will maintain our current style of Common Worship eucharistic services
- will inspire us by example to grow in faith and engage in new ways of serving our community
- has ideas about how to engage with incoming residents and welcome them into our congregation
- would be willing to consider expanding the role in the future, when funds allow
What we can offer:
- A happy and welcoming church community who have a tradition of supporting their Priest.
- A beautiful and accessible Grade I listed C13 church with a well-appointed rectory nearby
- An enabling and missionally minded patron and helpful volunteers in the congregation
- A competent team of bellringers, a well-maintained pipe organ and a RSCM-affiliated choir
- A supportive PCC, churchwardens, officers, and associate priest.
