Vicar of Marshfield Benefice, Diocese of Bristol
Are you called to lead a thriving rural benefice with a heart for mission, discipleship and community engagement? The Vicar of Marshfield Benefice will serve four welcoming churches across Marshfield, Cold Ashton, Tormarton and West Littleton, set in beautiful Cotswold countryside yet within easy reach of Bath, Bristol and Chippenham.
We are seeking a prayerful and collaborative priest who can inspire growth, nurture faith across all ages, and help shape a shared vision for the future. You will inherit many strengths:
- flourishing children and families ministry,
- a growing Breakfast Church,
- a strong school partnership,
- creative worship,
- committed lay leadership,
- excellent community connections,
- and nationally recognised environmental engagement.
Working with others to build on firm foundations, you will help unite four distinct church communities while building on their rich traditions and exploring new opportunities for mission. If you are an encouraging leader who loves God and loves people, we would be delighted to hear from you.
