We are a warm-hearted community of 7 parishes situated in the heart of rural Northamptonshire, near to Market Harborough and with close access to major motorway and rail links.

We are seeking a rector who, with the support and friendship of our committed churchwardens and four lay readers, will lead us through an exciting new phase of renewal and innovation.

He/she will share our enthusiasm for exploring different ways of connecting with our communities. This is likely to include building on traditional approaches to worship, as well as building on some successful initiatives already in place.

Our ideal candidate will be someone who:

• understands rural ministry and will enjoy living and working at the heart of our rural parishes.

• can engage with people of all ages, within and outside the church, including with community groups and our 3 schools.

• has a passion for mission and the imagination to develop opportunities for growth including amongst younger people and families.
