The new Benefice of Aller, Curry Rivel, Drayton, Fivehead, Huish Episcopi cum Langport, High Ham with Low Ham, and Swell are seeking a full-time Priest in Charge.
Our requirements are a bit different. We don’t need a Saint, we don’t require a Prophet, we’re not looking for a Martyr. All we want is an ordinary Priest, who will:
- Lead us in the worship of the Lord, our God
- Comfort us in our difficulties and rejoice with us in our happiness
- Teach our children God’s Word
- And encourage our communities back into the embrace of a church they are forgetting.
If that sounds more like you, we can offer you:
- A stipendiary half time Associate minister and two Readers
- Lay administrative support
- Many members of the congregation willing to stand up and work alongside you
- Gorgeous countryside, culture in Bath and Bristol and an hourly fast train to London in 1hr 45mins.
For full details and an application pack please email The PA to the Archdeacon of Wells or telpehone 01749 685147. An enhanced DBS disclosure is required
