We are looking for an experienced priest to offer ministry to the villages of Bilsthorpe, Eakring, Walesby, Kirton, Kneesall, Wellow, Laxton, Egmanton, known locally as the North Western group.
The villages have strong links to their local communities and offer the right person the opportunity to lead worship across a variety of styles, while seeking to establish a fruitful shape for ministry and mission into the future. There are two CofE Schools at Walesby and Kneesall and a Flying High Academy school at Bilsthorpe.
The group benefit from a strong ministry team who would support the house for duty priest and work together to discern the next season for the villages.
