This isn’t about church seating. This is an opportunity to serve the parishes of Prees, Edstaston and Whixall, an established and enthusiastic group, through leading their churches in mission and ministry.
The PEW group parishes are in rural north Shropshire, bordering Wales. Shrewsbury, Wrexham and Telford are all within easy reach. The three churches each have their own character, and worship together in one church each Sunday. Worship is ‘relaxed central’ in tradition, with one all-age and three communion Sunday services each month. Each parish supports the others in their distinct priorities and activities in mission.
We are looking for someone to work alongside us on the following priorities…
- Lead, love and serve our church and parish communities;
- Develop the work of our lay pastoral office teams;
- Work creatively with our two church schools;
- Discern and enable the gifts of church members.
We can offer you…
- Three churches who want to grow and to continue being a clear voice and active presence in our communities;
- A friendly, supportive and committed team already working well together as one group with part-time incumbent leadership.
