Worplesdon Parish has two churches with distinct identities and a joint aim:  to be increasingly vibrant, missional and intergenerational.
We are praying for a Rector who:
  • has experience of growing congregations, motivating teams and leading change sensitively
  • is Spirit-filled, servant hearted and able to lead us deeper in the ministry of the Holy Spirit
  • will help us to be disciples who confidently share our faith, serve our local community, and build our youth and children’s work
  • is pastorally gifted.
We offer:
  • a great opportunity to lead our parish into growth, building on strong foundations
  • an enthusiastic lay worship team, and a united team of wardens and PCC committed to helping you lead change
  • support for the wellbeing of our clergy
  • two well-maintained churches and a well-appointed rectory
  • a great location, just 4 miles from Guildford.
Please see the Parish Profile below for full details.  If you would like to have an informal conversation please contact the Archdeacon of Surrey at catharine.mabuza@cofeguildford.org.uk
We believe that diversity is a strength.  We actively welcome and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and identities, particularly those who identify as female, younger, of a UK Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage, or disabled, as it’s essential that we reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
