Vicar of the Benefice of Bright Waters

This attractive Benefice is centred on Whitchurch, a small town on the banks of the River Test, close to the edge of the North Wessex Downs. Winchester, Newbury, Basingstoke and Andover are all close by and the A34 and A303 provide good access further afield.

This is a substantial and engaging role for an experienced Priest who:

• Can continue the work of bringing this new Benefice together, recognising the uniqueness of each part
• Brings gifts to grow the various churches in number and depth of discipleship
• Will prioritise connecting with families, children and young people
• Relishes traditional styles of worship, but also brings creativity and modern approaches

You will find:

• A strong ministry team, lay and ordained
• A broad range of schools
• A well located vicarage in Whitchurch
