    Priest in Charge - Eden Churches Benefice

    Priest in Charge – St Paul’s Holme Eden and Holy Trinity & St Constantine’s Wetheral *

    Eden Churches – ‘Living out life in all its fullness’

    This role represents a wonderful opportunity for a devout and enthusiastic priest to serve in two thriving parishes in north Cumbria. Our parishes are rural but located just a few miles from the border city of Carlisle and with excellent transport links.

    We are looking for a priest-in-charge who loves parish ministry, who treasures the breadth of styles within the Church of England and who can see the extraordinary in the ordinary. We want to build on the strong missional and musical foundations already in place in our benefice as together we grow God’s Church.

    • Do you enjoy and excel at leading a broad range of liturgical styles – from traditional BCP and Common Worship services to more informal cafe-style church?
    • Do you have a passion for the use of music (both choral and contemporary) in worship?
    • Can you empower and inspire our enthusiastic laypeople in their pastoral
    work, mission and outreach; bringing God’s love to our local communities, and reaching new people in new ways?
    • Are you excited by the opportunity to work collegially with fellow clergy and the laity, within both a parish setting and a Deanery-wide mission community context?
    • Are you willing to be an active, engaging and visible presence in our villages and local schools; helping us to reach new disciples and nurturing our existing ones through welcoming community, meaningful worship, and accessible Bible teaching?
    If so, we can provide two beautiful historical churches, an attractive and comfortable rectory, a strong ministry team, effective and engaged PCCs and congregations, and a very warm welcome!

    Does this sound like it could be your calling?

    Those wishing to apply should seek an informal conversation with Archdeacon Ruth Newton - Tel: 07919 792051.
