leadership and pastoral care while maintaining their owndistinct identities. We adopt a traditional stance on issuesof living in love and faith.

We are looking for a servant-hearted Vicar, with a vision for church growth and community engagement, who will faithfully preach the gospel and provide spiritual leadership, pastoral care and missional direction.
