The Benefice of the Cley Hill Villages  are looking for a collaborative minister with a vision to see rural churches flourish in these thriving communities. This post includes a new role as a mission enabler for Heytesbury Deanery. The Benefice has two parishes with six churches, lying in small rural communities (total population c.3,000). We hope our new Rector will: •   be a team leader, encouraging and developing lay ministries. •   Work across the deanery to encourage smaller churches and the missional role of their historic buildings. •   Be a kind and loving pastor. •   Develop new forms of worship. •   Engage with families, young people & our three Primary Schools. •   Embrace and enjoy being part of the wider social life of our villages, to be a visible presence and sign of God’s love. We offer: •   Welcoming, willing and active communities. •   A modern, four-bedroom Rectory in a pleasant village location. •   Living in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with good road and rail links – situated halfway between the cities of Salisbury and Bath.
