Rector of Lyneham and Woodhill

We are a rural Benefice consisting of five parishes and six churches. We have a heartfelt vision: to make our churches places of sanctuary, welcome and spiritual support - centres of community life.
We are seeking a Rector with a broad and inclusive outlook, one who recognises the richness in difference and can draw people together. Our hope is for someone to walk beside us in faith, lead with grace and help us grow as disciples of Christ in a changing world.

We would like you to lead us:
•   To develop our faith and cultivate new seeds in the wider community
•   To nurture and grow our pastoral outreach 
•   To find creative solutions for challenges
•   To unify us through clear communication and organisational skills

We can offer you:
•   A welcoming, supportive worshipping community open to new ideas.
•   A committed team of volunteers and lay leaders 
•   Opportunities to strengthen our youth and family engagement.
•   An invitation to be a faithful, enthusiastic and inspired shepherd across villages that cherish their church leadership.

An enhanced DBS (with homecheck) is required
