Incumbent of Beadnell, Ellingham and North Sunderland

The Bishop of Newcastle wishes to appoint an incumbent to the benefice of Beadnell, Ellingham and North Sunderland in the Deanery of Bamburgh and Glendale.

Might God be calling you to serve in these friendly and collaborative parishes in a beautiful coastal region of North Northumberland? The people of the parishes are praying for an encouraging people person, who will re‑invigorate their worshipping life, deepen their spirituality, grow their congregations larger, younger and more diverse, and help their churches to be outward‑looking towards the wider communities.

To be a lively and engaged presence in the worshipping communities and beyond, helping the parishes to thrive and to effectively collaborate with one another.

To further encourage and enable lay leadership and collaborative working patterns.

To develop local strategy which align with the deanery and diocesan commitments to ‘Seeking, Sharing, Sending’, making best use of buildings and of financial and human resource.

We seek a collaborative, enabling leader, possessing the wisdom, creativity and enthusiasm, to help us to develop our people and our buildings to be truly Good News for the people of the parishes.
