Wanted: a parish priest to serve St James Westbrook and St Barnabas Warrington.
If you are a priest with a heart for mission, a good leader and communicator, committed to collaborative ministry and confident working with catholic spirituality and worship, we would love to meet you. You will find two churches who will welcome you and work with you to take advantages of the many opportunities for mission here, and a supportive deanery team embarking on an exciting journey towards becoming a team working together.
You will lead St James Westbrook, an inclusive liberal catholic parish in Hood Manor in the west of the town of Warrington with a vision for growth and discipleship. In the long term you will also become responsible for St Barnabas, a catholic/Eucharistic church nearer to the town centre, and until then you will work closely with the current incumbent to develop ministry at St Barnabas.
The deanery team says: “Warrington Deanery is exploring becoming a larger single parish together as part of the Fit for Mission programme. All 12 of our parishes are currently part of the journey, which is unique in the diocese and reflects the good relationships already there and the strong partnerships the clergy have with each other. This is a great time to join us as you’ll be able to be part of the shaping of the new larger single parish, and your role within it, as well as your leadership of the two churches. We would love to see someone join us, who will be committed to being part of this journey together, and who’ll bring an enthusiasm for seeing our churches grow, and the kingdom extended.”
This is a full-time stipendiary appointment, and an excellent 5-bedroom vicarage is provided near to St James’ church. The post-holder will initially be licensed as associate priest in both parishes, and will become a team vicar when the Warrington team ministry is formed.

Team Vicar and Lead for Evangelism or Communications in Church St Helens

(with responsibility for St Paul’s Blackbrook & St Philip, Derbyshire Hill)

We are Church St Helens: one parish with eleven churches and a team of ten stipendiary clergy, learning together what it means to work as a team to the glory of God in St Helens. We are aiming to work more closely with one another: bringing together our laity and clergy to be more effective in mission, discipleship, leadership and justice. This continues to be a work in progress and we are looking for a dynamic leader who can continue this journey of change with us.

 

You will lead two of our churches on the east side of the town of St Helens: St Paul’s Blackbrook and St Philip’s Parr. They are warm and welcoming communities, with great local teams of lay people. You will have a heart for introducing people to Jesus, deepening discipleship, developing Christian leaders and working for justice.

 

As part of the wider team you will find a contribution to the whole by developing a portfolio ministry according to your skills. We would love to develop our evangelism and our communications, but we would also love to see the passion and skills you will bring.

 

We are looking forward to serving with you.

 

Note: this is a full-time permanent stipendiary post as Team Vicar. Housing is provided in one of our vicarage-standard houses in the parish.

The role of Missing Generations Senior Lead and Priest in Charge of St George’s Everton is an opportunity to lead a £1m investment to grow church especially focused on the ‘missing generation’ of 11-29 year olds.
This is a unique opportunity for a leader whose heart beats a bit faster when faced with the challenge of growing the Kingdom of God in a more disadvantaged area of England, especially amongst Generation Zs.
Is this the sort of challenge that grabs you?
We are a church with welcome at its heart – a family of all ages and backgrounds. We’re informal, friendly – a bit rough around the edges, with Christ at the centre of all we do. There is huge opportunity for our new leader to build on this foundation, valuing all ages and life experiences, challenging us to step out in faith to reach those who are missing and to develop, encourage and build vibrant expressions of faith and hope at the heart of our communities.
There is an established team of lay and ordained colleagues, and you’ll be joining the project at a time when all the groundwork has been done to put in place the infrastructure and staffing you’ll need to support you. Now we need an inspiring and experienced leader to mentor those planting new congregations, and to keep the eyes of the team on the overall vision.
If this might be you, we’d love to hear from you!
Due to the evolving nature of the project, this post is offered on a 3 year basis initially, with the opportunity for the post holder to be part of shaping the necessary pastoral reorganisation as the project develops. Please don’t be put off by this: the Deanery do have the funding available for a post to be available in the longer term. We welcome applications both from people who are looking for an interim ministry – perhaps you’d like to make a big difference in your last few years before retirement? – and from people who would love this to develop into a longer term ministry in this place.
