These rural parishes (Kirk Langley, Mugginton, Kedleston, Longford, Long Lane) lie on the edge of the City of Derby giving easy access to beautiful rural Derbyshire Dales and the Peak District but also within 15 minutes drive of vibrant city life. 

The churches seek an enthusiastic, pastorally hearted, missional priest to work with them to:

  • Build links and develop relationships with the church schools with a view to partnering with them to form new worshipping communities.

  • Partner with Derbyshire Rural Chaplaincy to support the framing community.
  • Support the churches in progressing through the Eco Church Awards.
  • Develop new and innovative ways of communicating across the benefice.
  • Explore sustainable models of governance.

You would be supported by church members committed to looking after your well-being, ensuring you do not take on unrealistic levels of work.
