Gospel Ministry in the beautiful North Cotswolds! The South Warwickshire Seven (SW7) is a benefice made up of seven small parishes in rural South Warwickshire. We wish to appoint a House for Duty Associate Minister (know locally as Assistant Minister) to support the Rector as together we seek to realize our vision of ‘rediscovering Jesus as our ultimate treasure and giving everyone in our benefice the opportunity to do the same.’
We are looking for someone who:
- Loves and knows the living Lord Jesus as revealed in the Gospels.
- Empowered by God seeks to live up to the qualifications for church leadership as set out in the pastoral epistles (1 Timothy 3, Titus 1).
- Has a deep passion for the scriptures and a proven track record of communicating them faithfully and engagingly at different levels of ministry.
- Has a pastor’s heart, knowing the grace of God in their own lives and communicating that grace to others.
- Does not ‘despise the day of small things’ but is willing and able to celebrate the small signs of the Holy Spirit at work.
The post will consist of three days a week including Sundays. The well-appointed house is set in the scenic village of Cherington and Stourton.
