Pimperne, Stourpaine, Durweston with Bryanston and the Upper Tarrants, North Dorset
A wonderful opportunity to lead and inspire this newly formed Benefice of six small rural parishes just outside Blandford in the beautiful North Dorset countryside.
This post would offer:
- Vibrant and supportive congregations
- Hard-working and experienced PCCs and Churchwardens who are confident with responsibility, will take initiative and relieve the burden of administrative tasks
- An exciting moment as the new Benefice comes together
- Many possibilities for mission within the six supportive village communities and two thriving primary schools
We are looking for a Rector who actively enjoys engaging with all ages, through community involvement and in both formal and informal worship. They will be a strong leader, who is able to help us grow together as we develop new ways of Making Jesus Known in our communities.
The Benefice sits between Cranborne Chase and the Blackmore Vale, within reach of the Coast, Dorchester and Salisbury.
For an informal discussion please contact the Assistant Archdeacon Revd Canon Lucy Holt on 07713 490076 or by email on lucy.holt@salisbury.anglican.org
