Diocese of Bath and Wells
House for Duty, Local Minister of Christ Church, Redhill & Associate Priest of Wrington with Redhill & Langford, Burrington & Butcombe
Would you like to work in a rural benefice but be centred in just one small church? Would you enjoy ministering with a hard-working group of volunteers and supportive incumbent? Would you enjoy having the delights of Bristol and the Mendips – and even an international airport – on your doorstep? Then this is the opportunity!
We are seeking someone who:
- thrives in rural ministry and enjoys the challenge of leading just one church
- likes to be visible, active and known in the community
- enjoys working collaboratively with others
Someone who:
- is keen to work with young families who are actively exploring their faith
- would enjoy worshipping in, and working alongside, a small congregation
- enjoys teaching in small groups
- has a proven ability to work with the wider community
We can offer you:
- the enthusiastic support of a small, committed team of volunteers based in Redhill
- the support of an experienced incumbent, four licensed Readers and a Benefice Administrator
- the freedom to use your God-given skills across the wider Wrington benefice (5 churches in total)
- a modern 4 bedroomed house just off the A38 (or accommodation allowance if you prefer)
- proximity to the Mendip hills, the North Somerset coast and the cultural centres of Bath and Bristol. For further travel, it’s just 5 minutes to Bristol International Airport or 2 hours by train to London
