Job advert

It’s not often that a church gives a minister a genuinely clean slate. But in a place where the local football team eats vegan food, where Whitefield preached and five valleys meet, the [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] is offering just that – an opening for a forward-looking full-time pioneer to discern where God is at work and help foster new expressions of church.

Would you like to seize this new opportunity in the independent-thinking, creative town of Stroud? You would be supported by the existing minister and congregation and expected to lead worship there as well as develop a new community.
