Clergy Vacancies - Diocese of Leeds

Priest in Charge of the Erringden Benefice and Luddenden w Luddenden Foot

This is an exciting opportunity to work with three closely-linked churches in a beautiful part of Yorkshire.

Incumbent of the Benefices of Bradley, and Fixby & Cowcliffe

We are looking for a priest who is committed to helping us to grow in numbers, in spiritual commitment to God and in service to the local community as we deepen and strengthen the relationships across our parishes and communities. In return we will offer you our support, prayers and practical help from the multi-talented people in our congregations who are passionate about their faith, and are, in true Yorkshire style, welcoming and friendly.

Priest in Charge of Warley and Mount Pellon

Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. For all our appointments we are seeking clergy who have a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth. The parishes of Warley and Mount Pellon lie to the west of Halifax, West Yorkshire. They are urban-edge communities, bordering the Calder Valley and the higher ground to the north-west, and have characteristics of village life despite being on the outskirts of a major town. These two parishes are coming together for the first time, in the hope that working together alongside a new priest will maximise opportunities to foster growth. There is commitment to build relationship, to reach out into the community with the love of God, to develop in discipleship and to nurture new believers.

The parish has a population of 15000 and is looking for someone who is committed to biblical preaching and witness under the direction of the Holy Spirit.

Here in Leeds, we are committed to life-long learning of clergy and lay people.
