The Bishop of St.Albans with the Patrons seeks to appoint a  

TEAM RECTOR (Designate)

We seek someone who will work in partnership with a Team Vicar Designate (who they will help to appoint) to enable us to share the gospel of Jesus as we build this new team and realise our vision for growth.  We are 7 rural villages in the attractive River Ouse Valley just north-west of Bedford, with good schools, road and rail links. The new team will include 8 churches, 3 of whom are in a well-established LEP (Anglican/URC) 

We are praying for someone who –

• can work collaboratively and strategically with enthusiasm
• will inspire and encourage us as we navigate the way forward
• has a flexible approach and is ecumenically minded
• can nurture and empower lay people to share in ministry and mission
• will involve children and young people in the life of the church
• can build on and develop existing links with our 6 lower/middle schools
• is able to communicate pastorally with people at every level of faith, or none.

We can offer you –

• an exciting challenge as we embark on this new journey of faith
• good accommodation - 4 bedroom house with separate study & office attached
• willingness and enthusiasm to co-operate
• diverse traditions in Christian fellowship
• supportive PCCs and lay people able to share responsibility
• assistance of a part-time administrator and 4 active retired priests
• recognition that we will need to be flexible with what’s possible
