Team Vicar, St Columba, Fareham
Team Parish of Holy Trinity with St Columba, Fareham
Team Vicar for St Columba
The Bishop of Portsmouth and Team Rector are seeking a priest who will:
- Offer leadership that inspires and motivates others, developing the ministries of others, within a team setting.
- Take a ‘lead role’ in progressing our ambitious redevelopment of the church site, which will replace our current buildings with a purpose-built centre so that we can better serve the local community .
- Be committed to worship with a sacramental focus but respond positively and imaginatively to different worshipping styles and traditions.
- Teach and preach in a way accessible to people from different backgrounds
- Encourage the development of our ministry to and for children and families
This vacancy comes at a very exciting time in the life of the parish, at a time of change and transition, with a host of opportunities for mission. The team ministry comprises two churches, Holy Trinity and St Columba serving a population of approximately 10,000 people in the north-west section of Fareham town. The parish has strong links with five primary schools, one of which is C of E controlled, and a large community college. The development project may require the current modern four-bedroomed vicarage to be replaced within the locality. The town is conveniently located between Portsmouth and Southampton, has all local amenities and excellent road and rail links.
A gifted and enthusiastic priest is sought who is an effective communicator and relishes both the challenges and the opportunities this post offers.
