‘Following Jesus Christ today in the Ancient Capital of Mercia’
Situated in and around the market town of Tamworth in Staffordshire, this Parish offers huge potential for growth and creative mission. Are you the right person to help shape and develop our ministry in the future?
We are a well-resourced Parish with an experienced Vicar, an enthusiastic team of lay ministers, growing congregations, and superb, well-placed buildings in good condition.
We are looking forward to welcoming applications from prayerful, enthusiastic, creative candidates, who will help us to:
- Proclaim Jesus Christ in the heart of Tamworth, the ancient capital of Mercia;
- Promote and encourage the spiritual growth of our congregations through carefully planned liturgy, thoughtful evangelism, creative prayer, and engaging preaching;
- Entrepreneurially and imaginatively develop missional links with the community, civic organisations, local college, schools, industry, and new housing in the parish;
- Develop our ambitious vision for St Editha’s to serve as a “minster church” for the wider deanery and diocese.
This is a post which encompasses a wide range of ministerial opportunities, with enough flexibility to make the role your own, that your own discipleship might flourish.
If this sounds like the right challenge for you, then we would love to hear from you.
