The Lordsbridge Team is a well-established, thriving group of 11 diverse parishes to the west of Cambridge. It is led by the Rector and 3 Team Vicars (2 stipendiary and 1 minister in secular employment) and is supported by a wide group of other ministers.
The core of the Team supports the parishes in their mission, valuing the contribution of village churches, and sharing skills and resources.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is committed to rural and semi-rural ministry.
We hope that our new Team Rector will:
- actively support and develop our mixed ecology ministry
- continue to develop our lay and ordained ministry team, and collaboration across the parishes
- lead and encourage us in creatively developing new ways of growing in faith, and extending our mission in the wider community
- work with us to address the challenges and celebrate the joys of multi-parish rural ministry
We can offer
- outstanding administrative support
- prayerful and supportive communities
- a great place to live, good schools, and easy access to Cambridge
The Team Rector will also be the “Vicar” of at least two of the parishes.
