Priest in Charge

Is this the role you are being called to?

We are a community of ten churches in eight beautiful rural Staffordshire parishes operating as one in our aim to grow the numbers of people touched by the gospel through our church services and by outreach into our communities. We are praying for the person God is calling to join us here in Mid Trent. Is it you?

We are looking for someone who can lead us forward as we grow in both faith and numbers, challenge and support us, build on the benefits of the Benefice while respecting the heritage of the individual parishes, have a passion for rural ministry and inspire us as Christians.

Are you seeking to develop your ministry in an important role that will impact ten church communities and provide an opportunity for personal and spiritual growth? Would you like to achieve this as part of a well-supported clergy team of yourself, an Associate Priest, a Reader, and a lay team, wedding & funeral coordinators, underpinned by a Team Council and PCCs that deliver the day to day running of the churches? If so, you may be the leader we are praying for.
