Here in Wigan we see God at work, sending streams of living water to bring fresh hope and new life to people and places. We have seen a flourishing of missional energy here, and we believe God wants to do even more, that our communities will rejoice and bloom.

Therefore we want to appoint to the team a priest who is an evangelist. We want someone whose passion to see the gospel proclaimed beyond the boundaries of the church will keep pushing us outward, who can lead on embedding a culture of evangelism as well as key outreach activities, and nurture new evangelists. Might that be you?

You will be a senior figure in the Wigan clergy team that shares the prayer, discernment and planning of the whole mission to Wigan, and which provides peer support and spiritual formation. At the same time, you will be a key part of the excellent parish team in Chapelfields, working closely with local clergy colleagues, Hub Leadership Team and other lay leaders.

This is a key leadership role, with an impact on a Wigan wide and local level. This role is not so much a split role as it is a chance for an evangelistic clergy leader to exercise their gift fruitfully as part of their activities in the local church and across the town.

This is a full-time stipendiary role as Team Vicar in the Wigan Team Ministry, and a modern 4-bedroom house is provided Abram, in the Wigan East (Chapelfields) parish.

Wanted: a parish priest to serve the congregation and civic ministry of Warrington Parish Church, who will also be area dean of Warrington.

If you are a priest with a heart for mission, a good leader and communicator, committed to collaborative ministry and with a heart for congregational and civic ministry in a town centre church, we would love to meet you. At Warrington Parish Church (St Elphin’s) you will find a congregation who will welcome you and work with you to take advantages of the many opportunities for mission here, and a supportive deanery embarking on an exciting journey towards becoming a team working together.

You will be responsible for the life of Warrington Parish Church and for the development of its liberal catholic worship and mission. You will take the lead for civic ministry and engagement across the deanery, and as area dean you will lead on the deanery’s engagement in the public square as well as being responsible for pastoral care of clergy and others in ministry. You will work closely with the team-rector-designate who will be responsible for strategic mission and ministry planning, finance and deployment.

The deanery team says: “Warrington Deanery is exploring becoming a larger single parish together as part of the Fit for Mission programme. All 12 of our parishes are currently part of the journey, which is unique in the diocese and reflects the good relationships already there and the strong partnerships the clergy have with each other. This is a great time to join us as you’ll be able to be part of the shaping of the new larger single parish, and the role of the area dean within it, as well as your leadership of the Warrington Parish Church. We would love to see someone join us, who will be committed to being part of this journey together, and who’ll bring an enthusiasm for seeing our churches grow, and the kingdom extended.”

This is a full-time stipendiary appointment, and a large and attractive rectory is provided next to Warrington Parish Church.

The Cultivate Coach works with the rest of the Cultivate team to deliver the Cultivate programme across Liverpool Diocese within both Fit for Mission (FFM) and the Diocesan Investment Programme (DIP).  Each Cultivate Coach will primarily be assigned to two particular deaneries and will deliver all aspects of Cultivate, focussed on the “Fresh” and “Refresh” pathways.   Ultimately, they will seek to deliver on key project goals by growing missional capacity through the Mission and Planning Review (MPR) framework, enabling the planting of many new worship communities, refreshing existing churches and worship communities, and developing lay missional leaders across the diocese.

Key responsibilities:

Cultivate will work, as we have said, across both FFM and DIP projects, and will therefore engage with both LSPs and SPs.  In both contexts, Cultivate will be an integral part of the MPR framework, seeking to grow missional capacity alongside growth in giving and financial sustainability.  The key tool for this is Cultivate’s “Refresh” pathway, using its Church 360 tool, alongside its “Fresh” (Planting) pathway, using the Cultivate course and other tools.  Therefore the core tasks will be:

1. Deliver Cultivate through the Fresh and Refresh Pathways:

Refresh Pathway:

• As part of the MPR, deliver the Church 360 to churches and existing worship communities, facilitating all aspects of the process and enabling the establishment and review of action plans

Fresh (Planting) Pathway:

• Deliver the 6-week Cultivate course, in-person and online, to groups of emerging lay leaders and clergy
• Deliver workshops to clergy (including Mission Plan workshops)
• Help to grow and develop emerging lay leaders, alongside clergy
• Coach clergy in their mentoring of emerging lay leaders, and mentor particular lay leaders, as appropriate
• Deliver additional training to emerging lay leaders
• Help to organise the annual retreat for emerging lay leaders across the diocese

1. Liaise with the deanery and diocese:

• Be the Cultivate contact for the deanery, develop good relationships with key personnel (including, in FFM, the local Cultivate Lead, the Change Facilitator, the Change Lead, and the Team Coach), engage effectively with all clergy, foster good relationships with emerging lay leaders.
• Integrate work with the Vocations Team to ensure robust recruitment practices for Lay Leaders and support for vocational pathways for individuals including relevant learning and development opportunities.
• Ensure excellent communication with key stakeholders and adhere to agreed procedures for the full delivery of Cultivate.
• Measure and track delivery data
• Actively prepare the deanery for succession planning, enabling Cultivate to be delivered beyond the intervention period

1. Develop Cultivate:

• Together with the rest of the Cultivate Project Team, seek to develop Cultivate (including the key tools, processes and procedures that underpin both Pathways) through consistent participant feedback, effective review, and development meetings.
