St Mary’s Oxenhope is a single-church village parish within the Bradford Episcopal Area of the Diocese of Leeds. The church has a unique role within the local community, and St Mary’s building is a significant focal point. The church has earned a voice in Oxenhope’s life from its record of trusted presence and strong engagement with the life of the parish. The church remains the place that people look to for marking the seasons and key events in their lives and the life of the village. Hence the new vicar will find a warm welcome.
In appointing to this post, we are looking for someone who has a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth. (S)he will be an enabling leader who can work with the congregation of St Mary’s to keep growing the church, developing discipleship, and nurturing relationships within the village and local community in creative ways. Given the part-time nature of this post, we are seeking a person who can inspire and develop others into ministry, leadership and responsibility alongside themselves.
