Full time Priest-in-Charge and Mission Community Leader - Benefice of Dalton in Furness with Ireleth and Askam

Do you have a heart for rural ministry with an understanding of semi-urban and rural contexts and how they relate to each other?

Are you grounded in prayer, a faithful discerner and a strategic thinker?

We are seeking a priest who will take first steps towards establishing the Mission Community with a clear sense of common purpose and cooperation between mission partners and member churches.

Do you have a passion for mission and pioneering opportunities and vision for creating sustainable ministry including lay leadership?

Will you work ecumenically, collaboratively and can help the churches work together?

Does this sound like it could be your calling? If so:
