Diocese of Lincoln

The Priory Church, Deeping St James, Lincolnshire

Priest-in-Charge

Half-time stipendiary appointment for a five year term

We are an active Church community in a large residential village just north of Peterborough and the ancient Priory Church is the centre of our forward-looking Parish. Our worship is mostly Eucharistic, using modern language CW. An active NSM and supportive laity contribute to many aspects of our parish life.

We are seeking an energetic priest (4 days per week) to lead us in:

· The development of a lay ministry team

· Outreach to our wider village community and schools

· Building closer relationships with neighbouring parishes

· The further development of our work with young people

and who will be a spiritual guide, an inspiring preacher and enjoy working with a strong liturgical and musical tradition.

There is an excellent modern 4 bedroom Vicarage.
