The Dean & Chapter of Ely wish to appoint a Vicar of Melbourn and Meldreth
Set in attractive South Cambridgeshire countryside, our two villages form welcoming and active churches with strong community connections.
Following a period of growth, we are seeking a vicar who will build on this and lead us into the next chapter of our life together.
We are praying for someone who:
- has a warm and welcoming faith
- is open, inclusive and flexible in worship, ministry and mission
- values diversity and is a people person who will engage warmly with our communities
- will encourage continued growth, including among families
We can offer a six-bedroom vicarage, a supportive team of volunteers and a desire for growth.
