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.
Informal conversations very welcome with Charles Higgins, Vicar of Bulkington on 07954 072164 vicar@stjameschurchbulkington.org.uk
