Where are you?
Our children say …”We want a Vicar, so contact us and do the funny interview". This is an exciting opportunity for someone with vision and drive to serve our churches on the edge of the beautiful Staffordshire countryside. Without a doubt we are unique!
- Our theological tradition includes the more formal liturgy of a town centre Church, to the less formal fellowship of a small but well maintained country church, and that of a close knit ex-mining community.
- We seek a new Vicar to help guide us in outreach to our community, in the developing of our gifts and mission and ministry in this diverse community.
- We have a ministry team of ordained and lay ministers working across the two Parishes supported by committed full time office staff, and congregations deeply involved in the life of their respective Churches who are keen to develop opportunities for further outreach and fellowship.
- The Parish of Cannock and Huntington has close ties with the Civic authorities and local schools who use the Church on a regular basis.
- There is a tradition of preaching and discipleship within our Church together with many fellowship activities for those both within and beyond the Church itself.
- The appointed priest will find supportive congregations who will encourage a proper work-life balance, an attractive and well-appointed house, the Parish Church having a modern and well used Hall and facilities.
All applicants should normally have 3 years’ experience in the Church of England or another Anglican church in the British Isles.
