Are you a prayerful and approachable priest with a heart for parish renewal, community engagement and collaborative ministry? Situated on the south-east side of Stoke-on-Trent, we are seeking a new Incumbent to lead our two welcoming churches with faithful congregations, strong lay commitment and a genuine desire to grow in faith, discipleship and mission.

- Deepen our life of prayer, worship and sacramental ministry.
- Encourage confident discipleship and develop lay gifts.
- Build relationships with schools, families and the wider community.
- Help us explore fresh opportunities for mission and outreach.
- Value our traditions while enabling us to try new things.
- Work collaboratively with committed lay leaders and supportive PCCs.
We offer:
- a strong sense of welcome and commitment.
- Congregations eager to embrace renewal and growth.
- Established links and opportunities within schools and community organisations.
- Good clergy support within the Deanery and Diocese.
- a healthy respect for challenges as well as joys of parish ministry.
