The Acting Bishop of Durham is seeking a Priest-in-Charge of Christchurch Stockton.
The committed congregation are praying for a collaborative, mission-focussed minister. This is an area of significant need, and the church serves here lovingly and faithfully; will you come to work with them to develop their mission to the parish further?
Significant additional financial resources are being made available to the parish for mission, and the new minister will work with the PCC to develop a plan to use these effectively.
The Diocese of Durham is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.
