Clergy Vacancies
Team Rector of St Luke in the City and Priest in Charge of Toxteth St Margaret
Serving a vibrant, growing and rapidly changing part of Liverpool city centre, this is a fabulous place to live and work.
This newly configured post holds together the three existing churches of the St Luke in the City team with a new partner church, St Margaret of Antioch, representing a new collaborative way of working. The Team Parish of St Luke in the City was one of the earliest experiments in creating a larger single parish, when five historic parishes came together 25 years ago. Now the Deanery has embarked on the journey of exploring pastoral reorganisation to become a single larger parish under the diocesan strategy Fit for Mission. It is expected that the postholder will be committed to this journey, and should be aware that this post may change to that of Team Vicar in a reconfigured larger parish in a 2-3 year timescale (all clergy currently in post will have the opportunity to explore becoming Team Rector of the new parish). It will be important for the postholder to be willing to work in partnership with people of goodwill of all faiths and none as the churches serve their communities.

Vicar of Great Crosby St Faith and Waterloo St Mary (Interim)
We are looking for someone who will bring fresh thinking and real energy to take us forward in our mission. We need someone who will respect our differing worship styles and traditions, who will be confident in bringing initiative and vision to our churches, who will care for us and the local community and help us to bring about change.
We are two different churches in the sense of tradition, location and facility but with one desire to share God’s love with all people across our communities. St Faith’s stands in the liberal Anglo-Catholic tradition centred on weekday eucharists and daily offices and with an extensive musical ministry. St Mary’s is a small, enthusiastic and multi generational church family who are committed to Inclusive Church.
We are offering you a warm welcome, our prayers, our enthusiasm and willingness to develop spiritually and try new ideas, committed and supportive ministry teams and respect for your time off.

Part-Time Priest in Charge of Toxteth St Bede with St Clement (Interim)

This post needs someone who is skilled at change management and negotiating with a variety of different stakeholders. It involves being fully committed to the Liverpool Diocese's Fit for Mission strategy, as the Toxteth & Wavertree deanery is at an advanced stage of becoming part of Cohort 2.

Community & Engagement Worker - St Helens Parish Church
St Helens is a large town with a strong cultural identity, loads of potential and in a great position in the North West of England. The town centre is in the early stages of an ambitious programme of regeneration (sthelenstowncentre.co.uk), and the church’s central location is at the heart of the imagined ‘new’ town centre. As the civic church in the town, St Helens Parish Church already has an active ministry with the council and town wide events. As St Helens Minister, a vision is emerging of how we can build on these links and strengthen the mission and ministry here as the Church in the centre of St Helens.
An important part of the vision for St Helens Minster is that the building would be open more for visitors, groups and those seeking help or connection. We already have a successful weekly community café and our vision is to build on its success and develop a unique offering of hospitality and welcome within the minster. The Community Engagement worker will work alongside the Core team to develop the Christian vision of St Helens Minster, working to make Jesus known through strategic community engagement, working with existing ministries of St Helen’s Parish Church and developing new initiatives to share the good news of Jesus.
