House for Duty Rector of Lockington and Lund and Scorborough with Leconfield

Rector of the Benefice of Lockington and Lund and Scorborough with Leconfield

(House for Duty post)

Our benefice of four rural churches is situated in a glorious part of the East Riding of Yorkshire just a few miles north of the very attractive Georgian town of Beverley.

A quote from our local church school –

‘A great place to be – come and join us!’

We offer:

· Enthusiastic, welcoming and friendly churches

· A real desire to grow and reach out to our families

· Inclusive, central tradition of worship

· Very good lay support including three Authorised Lay Ministers (two Worship & one Pastoral)

· An attractive 4-bedroom rectory in Lockington

· Two excellent schools with which there are close links – a church primary school in Lockington and a community primary school in Leconfield

· Big skies countryside of the Yorkshire Wolds and the North York Moors

We are praying for a Rector who:

· Will be an encouraging, prayerful and visible pastoral presence within our caring and active village communities

· Has a genuine desire to communicate and connect joyfully with people of all ages

· Will continue to nurture and enhance our good relationships with our local schools

· Can recognise and use the skills of the laity across our benefice

· Wants to lead us to joyfully proclaim the gospel in our communities

We understand rural life and don’t expect our Vicar to do everything – we have active church members who look forward to sharing in ministry with you!
