The Bishop of Chichester seeks to appoint a Priest in Charge for All Saints' Wick and St Mary Magdalene, Lyminster, who will offer an evangelistic, pastoral and liturgical ministry, as we seek to know, love and follow Jesus.

These two parishes are situated in the Deanery of Arundel and Bognor, north of Littlehampton and close to Arundel.

Someone, male or female, who is collaborative in leadership - both a team leader and team player.

Someone who is keen to work with the congregation and PCC to develop our vision.

Someone who is enthused by the opportunities to work with our team of preachers, licensed lay readers, retired clergy and ordinand and to continue to develop gifts and ministries within the congregation.

For an informal conversation please contact the Ven Luke Irvine-Capel, SSC, Archdeacon of Chichester on 01243 680251 or email: archchichester@chichester.anglican.org
