MINISTRY ENABLER

for The Three Rivers Mission Community
A new exciting opportunity to be part of enabling growth and change to happen.

We are seeking to appoint a new Team Member to the Three Rivers Mission Community - an area in North Cumbria encompassing the rivers, Eden, Gelt and Irthing.

This really is a post with a difference, as you will initially share much pastoral and parochial responsibility with the current Mission Community Leader, in order for them to have the time needed to manage the process of change in these parishes, and to look to develop a strategy of how the Deanery can come together as Mission Community in a radically new way.

The person appointed will be licenced as Associate Priest in each the Benefices of the Deanery; this is in order to underline the collaborative and Deanery-wide nature of the appointment.

We are looking for someone who will:

Take up the role of
leading the Mission Community (in whatever shape develops) when the interim Team Rector's post ends.
Be
collaborative with vision and energy to support and work ecumenically with all who lead God's people in this place.
Be capable of helping to turn
vision into action

Be passionate about proclaiming the Gospel afreshin
rural
communities

Have the ability to recognise God at work here already, whilst able to focus on and
bring about change.

Do you think God might be calling you here to utilise your gifts amongst us?

For an informal conversation, please contact Archdeacon Stewart Fyfe on
