Team Vicar (0.5 FTE Hardwick and Hoggeston - Schorne Benefice, North Buckinghamshire

Three beautiful rural parishes within a supportive, fully staffed team, seek a priest to serve our welcoming and thriving village communities. Our churches offer a wellspring of worship that underpins a strong pastoral presence.

This affords us a valued place in village life which we hope to renew via fresh engagement with younger generations and new residents.

We are looking for someone who will:

• lead worship and preach with clarity and warmth;
• be visible and pastorally engaged in the life of our villages;
• encourage growth in faith, mission and confidence in the risen Christ;
• foster links with schools and the wider farming community;
• gladly work collaboratively and develop a lay ministry for all ages.

We offer:

• supportive congregations and committed, cheerful PCCs;
• a prayerful and genuinely collegial clergy team;
• opportunities to shape sustainable rural ministry and outreach;
• a well-appointed family Rectory in Whitchurch.
