Vicar

We are:

• One thriving parish with 2 churches, on the western edge of Wolverhampton, with an Outstanding church primary school.

• Central in tradition, open to growth, mission, and innovation.

We are challenged by:

• Our need to attract and retain more young people.

• Our relative lack of engagement with social justice issues.

• Our desire to grow in spiritual depth, practical love, and knowledge of scripture.

We are praying for a vicar who:

• Has experience integrating into, leading and managing a team.

• Will have discernment for our present and vision for our future.

• Preaches in a relevant and challenging way, bringing the Bible to life.

• Has a heart and ability for outreach to various age groups.

• Will be a shepherd who loves people and cares compassionately for the flock of God.

• Is an enabler of others in their gifts and callings.

We can offer:

• A supportive team of assistant clergy, lay people, and parish administrator, gifted and willing to serve.

• A welcoming community holding together a range of views and preferences.

• A place where both choral and more contemporary music are valued.

• A parish which is financially stable with buildings in good order.
