Vicar of Hemingford Grey and Rector of Hemingford Abbots

4 months ago


Barton, United Kingdom Diocese of Ely Full time

The Bishop of Ely seeks to make a full-time appointment for a Vicar of Hemingford Grey and Rector of Hemingford Abbots.

Two lively and distinct parishes in attractive rural settings, one evangelical and the other with a more traditional approach, are looking for an energetic and compassionate leader so as to achieve a greater impact both in our communities and in our other mission activities. CPAS is the Patron for St James; the Trustees of the late Lord Hemingford for St Margaret’s.

The two Parishes offer:

Two lively congregations, each with their own traditions and styles, but both eager to learn, grow and be led where God wants to take us. Unwavering support and friendship from the people in both congregations. The opportunity for personal, professional and spiritual growth. A rich resource across both parishes of an Associate priest, retired priests, plus both licensed and unlicensed laity, all involved in leading worship services and preaching. St James’s PCC also employs a Youth and Children’s Minister. Enthusiastic, energetic and skilled teams of people thoroughly involved in all aspects of the life of the two churches.

We are looking for someone who will:

Have a vibrant faith and love of God and are passionate about helping others grow in their own faith and to share it with our communities. Have experience relevant to helping us reach out to all age groups, including children, young people and families and to grow our congregations. Be comfortable leading, participating in and encouraging a wide range of worship styles and formats as well as the different traditions of the two parishes. Have a track record of strong but servant leadership, not necessarily in ordained ministry (i.e. this could be their first incumbency), able to delegate and to identify and encourage gifts and leadership in others.
