This is an exciting time to be joining Peterborough Diocese and the Walgrave Benefice. Under the leadership of Bishop Debbie Sellin, the diocese is praying, dreaming, consulting and planning about the way ahead for our mission and ministry. There are plenty of challenges but also many wonderful blessings and opportunities. God is good and we are confident that our future is in his hands.
The Walgrave Benefice is looking for someone who can encourage four individual parish churches that enjoy working together. In our varied church family, some of us are quite traditional whilst others are seeking to engage more with children and families—enabling them to experience the wonder of the living God.
We would like our church family’s future direction to:
-
Thrive
-
To be dynamic and a force in the community
-
To be inclusive of all people
-
To be known for being welcoming, encouraging and loving towards all people
-
To progress and adapt to meet the needs that arise at different times.
We look forward to hearing from you.
