An exciting opportunity to combine leading this benefice of four villages in the next phase of mission on the outskirts of Ipswich with an enabling role supporting Benefices across the Archdeaconry of Suffolk to develop & implement their Plans for Growth. We have excellent transport links to London, Cambridge & the Suffolk Coast located in a desirable village with many mission opportunities including new housing.
We are praying for someone who:
- Has a passion for mission in a rural context.
- Will value nurturing others both in the benefice and archdeaconry.
- Values both traditional and more experimental styles of worship and mission.
- Enjoys developing work with children & families and young people both in schools and beyond.
- Has a pastoral heart and willing to be visible in our communities.
We offer an active Benefice Ministry Team & Diocesan Mission & Ministry Team with an excellent Benefice part time administrator, good rectory and committed churches who work together.
