Vicar of St James Porchester
St James Porchester is seeking a new Vicar to lead our committed congregation into the next chapter of its life and mission. With strong lay leadership, thriving community connections, growing work with children and families, and a heart for prayer and discipleship, we are excited about the future.
We are looking for a vicar who will:
- inspire worship that is rooted in prayer and Scripture and accessible to all ages;
- help us grow, particularly among children, young people, younger adults and those under 45;
- build relationships across the parish, including its expanding new housing developments;
- deepen discipleship and help people grow in confidence, prayer and faith;
- offer wise, courageous and compassionate leadership through change; and
- nurture and release the gifts of lay and ministry leaders within a shared culture of service.
We offer strong foundations and significant potential for growth: a blended pattern of worship, thriving toddler groups, Messy Church, links with local schools and community organisations, flexible church and centre buildings, and a committed network of lay leaders, Readers, retired clergy, ministry teams and an Office Administrator.
Our parish includes parts of Mapperley, Carlton and Gedling, bringing together a growing suburban community close to Nottingham city centre and the surrounding countryside.
Come and help us write God's next chapter at St James Porchester.
