Are you passionate about starting new worshipping communities?
Do you have a heart for connecting people to God through new ways of being church?
We seek an ordained Anglican to be our Diocesan New Worshipping Communities Enabler & Vicar in the Saltway Team
To resource our diocesan priority of launching 100 new worshipping communities by 2030 we are funding this exciting new post, held jointly with that of Team Vicar in the friendly market town of Droitwich. Embedded in a vibrant team, you will be an authentic role model for those learning to live out a mixed ecology of church and reach new people with the love of Christ.
For half your time you will enable and equip benefices to begin NWCs. You will offer experience, creativity, expertise, inspiration and support, enabling a missional culture, encouraging NWC leaders and their teams through the provision of training, networking and mentoring. The other half you will be engaging in parish ministry across Droitwich and neighbouring villages in an established team seeking to worship God, grow disciples and serve their community, with a healthy blend of new and inherited worship styles.
The ideal person for this joint role will be:
· an excellent team player with strong leadership and influencing skills;
· a natural networker with good relationship building skills;
· passionate about enabling churches to thrive and grow;
· a leader with a heart for mission;
· a natural role model, inspiring others in areas of service and ministry;
· comfortable conducting worship across a wide range of contexts with the sensitivity and confidence to lead people into God’s presence.
