The Benefice is made up of the eight rural parishes – eleven communities. Each village has its own character (and characters!). It is set within the gentle, attractive countryside of North Suffolk and is about five miles from the Norfolk market town of Diss.
This post offers an exciting opportunity to work collaboratively with the ministry team and congregations in our benefice.
We seek a new rector who will:
- Help us grow and deepen our faith in God.
- Be a leader and shepherd across the benefice.
- Look for opportunities to be creative and innovative in worship, whilst continuing to celebrate and explore the richness of Anglican tradition.
- Be prepared to take the church into the communities.
- Strengthen and maintain creative links with our schools and support youth and children’s work.
We offer:
- Friendly, welcoming congregations who are ready to try new things.
- An aspiration for a diversity of worship.
- A willingness to be challenged.
- Encouragement, loyalty and support.
