Culworth Benefice is a welcoming rural benefice of four parishes set in the beautiful countryside of south Northamptonshire. This is a benefice with a strong sense of community, where village life is vibrant and churches are valued and visible. Each parish has its own distinct character, yet together we share a genuine commitment to collaboration, hospitality, and mission.

We are seeking a priest who:

Is a prayerful and confident leader, grounded in the life of the Church
Enjoys rural ministry and values the role of the church at the heart of community life
Is relatable, approachable, and keen to nurture both faith and friendship
Will encourage growth—spiritual, numerical, and missional—while cherishing tradition

This is a deeply rewarding post for a priest who delights in people, place, and partnership, and who feels called to serve God in a flourishing rural benefice with a hopeful future.
