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, and between, these parishes. In return we will offer you our support, prayers and practical help from the people of our diverse congregations and parishes.
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.
We are pleased to have a number of curacy opportunities to offer across the Diocese of Leeds, for commencement in Summer 2025. Here in Leeds, we are committed to life-long learning of clergy and lay people. As such, curates can expect a programme of Initial Ministerial Education 2 (IME2) which focusses on equipping clergy with the knowledge and skills they will need for their ministerial life, but also seeks to inspire them towards further development throughout their ministry.
