Associate Minister, Ansty & Shilton (House for Duty basis)
St James Ansty and St Andrew’s Shilton serve two picturesque and community-focused Warwickshire villages north of Coventry, with a range of local amenities and excellent transport links to the majority of the country.
We are seeking a House for Duty priest who will enjoy focusing on the heart of parish ministry and become an integral part of life in the two villages. We wish to appoint a priest who will:
- Be a visible and known presence in the local and wider communities, within and beyond the Church
- Be able to build relationships with people of all ages and experiences
- Recognise and encourage potential in lay ministry, leading us in worship, spiritual growth, and outreach in our parishes
- Be creative, and comfortable within a range of worship styles and a broad expression of faith
- Embrace the vision of the Church communities, and build on them using their own gifts, in their own way
- Collaborate with partner Churches across Bulkington, Ansty and Shilton
The Vicar of Bulkington will become Priest-in-Charge of Ansty and Shilton, releasing our House for Duty colleague to focus on the heart of parish ministry unincumbered by some of the administration.
