These two lively urban parishes in central Burnley provide an outstanding opportunity for a priest who wants to make a difference across the town.
St Peter’s is the historic town centre church and offers the chance to minister to central Burnley and build partnerships with the Borough Council and community groups.
St Stephen’s serves the recently regenerated Burnley Wood area and has a more settled, residential community.
Both congregations bring creativity, enthusiasm, able lay leaders and a love for the young. Each Parish has a good church school where links are warm and strong.
The churches are both in the central tradition with worship rooted in the Eucharist and an established choral tradition at St Peter’s.
