Area Dean of Warley and Edgbaston and Vicar - Harborne, St Faith and St Laurence
In Church of England Birmingham, the diocesan vision is to grow churches at the heart of each community - churches that are spiritually and numerically flourishing, proclaiming the Gospel and transforming the places they serve, as signs of God’s Kingdom.
The Area Dean is a strategic leadership role, working to
- embed the diocesan vision and strategy;
- support ministerial development and well-being;
- support and encourage Oversight Areas.
The congregation of St. Faith & St Laurence looks forward to welcoming "a pastoral and collaborative incumbent who can, being led by the Spirit, deepen our discipleship and walk alongside us as we grow outward in our service to others and engage the wider community around us." There are many opportunities to develop the life of this welcoming church, which values the rich tradition of the Church of England.
The deanery of Edgbaston and Warley runs from the partly-suburban area very close to the centre of the diverse city of Birmingham, to the heart of the Black Country, with its particular culture and industrial heritage.
We’d love to hear from candidates with significant leadership and ministry experience and a vision to work with others towards transforming growth.
