This Vacancy has been closed.
Overview
St George’s Stamford is looking to appoint an Associate Rector to support our development as a Resource Church in Lincoln Diocese. The purpose of this new initiative funded by money from the Strategic Development Fund is to renew the urban church in the larger urban centres of Lincoln Diocese where under 1% of the local population attend an Anglican church.
St George’s has been acting as an informal resource church over many years and has a record of pioneering new initiatives in the Stamford area. We have a usual Sunday attendance of around 500 people and our purpose is ‘making disciples on mission with Jesus.’
