Introduction
Team Vicar Designate:
Wanted: a parish priest to serve St James Westbrook and St Barnabas Warrington.
If you are a priest with a heart for mission, a good leader and communicator, committed to collaborative ministry and confident working with catholic spirituality and worship, we would love to meet you. You will find two churches who will welcome you and work with you to take advantages of the many opportunities for mission here, and a supportive deanery team embarking on an exciting journey towards becoming a team working together.
You will lead St James Westbrook, an inclusive liberal catholic parish in Hood Manor in the west of the town of Warrington with a vision for growth and discipleship. In the long term you will also become responsible for St Barnabas, a catholic/Eucharistic church nearer to the town centre, and until then you will work closely with the current incumbent to develop ministry at St Barnabas.
The deanery team says: “Warrington Deanery is exploring becoming a larger single parish together as part of the Fit for Mission programme. All 12 of our parishes are currently part of the journey, which is unique in the diocese and reflects the good relationships already there and the strong partnerships the clergy have with each other. This is a great time to join us as you’ll be able to be part of the shaping of the new larger single parish, and your role within it, as well as your leadership of the two churches. We would love to see someone join us, who will be committed to being part of this journey together, and who’ll bring an enthusiasm for seeing our churches grow, and the kingdom extended.”
This is a full-time stipendiary appointment, and an excellent 5-bedroom vicarage is provided near to St James’ church. The post-holder will initially be licensed as associate priest in both parishes, and will become a team vicar when the Warrington team ministry is formed.
