We are seeking a Rector who will seize the opportunities that the changes happening in Sutton have to offer, someone who will build relationships with those who live and work here as 'town centre' priest.

Our Mission Action Plan has three essential goals – to be embracing, encouraging and uniting.

• Be able to strike a balance between maintaining and honouring the traditions of St Nicholas Church whilst finding creative new ways to enrich our worship and grow our congregation.
