St James Newchapel and St Thomas Mow Cop - Priest in Charge (Vicar Designate):

Is the Holy Spirit calling you to joyfully lead our church  communities into their new partnership together?

We’re looking for a Spirit-filled vicar who is a good bible preacher and teacher who will:

  • Lead our parishes into greater relationship with each other
  • Increase the effective evangelistic life of both churches
  • Encourage our discipleship, particularly through small group learning
  • Help us develop connections with children and families (eg through local schools) to introduce them to Jesus.

Our communities are on the North Staffordshire/Cheshire border, close to beautiful countryside. We’re resourceful worshipping communities who are known for our warm welcome, prayerfulness and commitment. We’re excited for what God might have for us in this next phase of our journey. Please have a look at our profile to find out more.
