The Diocese of York is looking for a Pioneer Minister to begin a brand new ministry on the Kingswood Estate in Hull.
The Archdeacon of the East Riding, the Ven. Andy Broom said, “Although homes started being built in Kingswood in the 1990s, the estate is now growing at a considerable rate. By 2028 there will be over six thousand homes, as well as the new primary school, the ‘village centre’ of shops and amenities, and an extensive retail park. We believe that the people who live in Kingswood need a dedicated minister to serve them, so we’re creating this brand new post.
“We’re looking to appoint a Pioneer Minister rather than a traditional vicar, as the person who serves Kingswood will need to be able to form and lead a church that’s just right for the people in the estate. Although there’s no church building in Kingswood, the Pioneer Minister will build up a team to work with and a congregation. Churches don’t just exist in old buildings – a church can worship God in a local pub or café! We believe that God loves everyone who lives in Kingswood, and we want to appoint a Pioneer Minister who can share God’s love with the community.”
If this could be you, we’d look forward to hearing from you.
