St Luke’s, a church in the evangelical tradition, just south of the centre of Bath, wants to welcome and serve all people. We strive to be Christ-centred and outward-focussed, a place of deep relationships and hospitality as well as a place where all are inspired to grow as Christians.
We are looking for someone with vision and energy who will be:
- a strong strategic leader, able to build on the existing ministries as well as initiate and extend into new areas
- a team player who values the ministry of lay people, ready to delegate whilst also leading by example
- an inspirational, biblically rich and Spirit-filled preacher who is culturally relevant and able to communicate well with people of all ages, families and the unchurched
- a good listener - prayerful, pastoral, empathetic - with a good sense of humour
- open to a variety of styles of church tradition and worship
- outward-looking, community-minded, and environmentally aware, imaginative of new ways to use our facilities
We offer you:
- a strong lay team ready to work collaboratively and support you and each other
- a Jesus-focussed, outward looking and friendly congregation with a variety of gifts
- a desire to grow and embrace change
- wonderful facilities – a beautiful and well-maintained church and church centre and a modern close-by vicarage
- a well-equipped, and staffed, church office
