St. Mark’s, Shelton, part of the Hanley Team Ministry, is reaching the end of a £2.5million repair and restoration programme, including a substantial community heritage project and renewed relationships with the neighbouring church primary school.
We are looking for someone who can build on this community engagement and grow a renewed congregation at St. Mark’s – a large building with huge potential. The local area is a place of great diversity and challenge, but also of great opportunity.
Could you:
- work with others within the Church and beyond to establish a new worshipping community.
- be warmly welcoming to new people with the creativity, innovation and perseverance required to form and sustain new Christian communities.
- lead both more traditional worship and appropriate forms for those new to worshipping communities.
- build new collaborative relationships and develop networks of people and community partner organisations, especially schools.
The post will be half-time (0.5 FTE) for three years, as an employee of Lichfield Diocesan Board of Finance.
