Vacancy for our Rector

Notices Church_news

Are you the person God is calling here?

The vibrant Cumbrian market town of Workington, is prayerfully seeking a new Rector. We are a united benefice of two parishes with magnificent and contrasting buildings in prominent locations. Each has a distinct flavour, but we are both steeped in the Liberal Catholic tradition. Both parishes have seen recent growth with a diversity of ages, nationalities and backgrounds and we are looking for someone to lead us into the next stage of our mission.

We are praying for a priest who is:

deeply grounded in their faith in Christ and is able to lead the parishes in mission within the liberal Anglo-Catholic traditions of worship, prayer and liturgy

prayerful and empathetic

a collaborative, energetic and empowering leader

committed to civic engagement and partnership as part of the Church’s mission

enthusiastic about preaching and deepening the faith of people of all ages

able to demonstrate a heart for young people

pastoral and approachable

committed to warm, ecumenical relationships

blessed with a sense of humour
