Team Vicar in the Great Yarmouth Team Ministry

Posted on: Wednesday 18 December 2024

Great Yarmouth

Great Yarmouth is a single parish which operates as a team ministry with three churches: The Minster, St Mary’s and St Paul’s.  An historic town which in the past was extremely wealthy, but today is amongst the most deprived in the country.  The Minster Mission is home to Great Yarmouth Café & Support Centre which serves free hot lunches and is a centre for Yarmouth & Magdalen Foodbank.

The parish has traditionally maintained a liberal catholic ethos with vestments at services and the sacrament reserved.  The Minster provides a heart and focus for ministry and is a haven of prayer with the daily offices being the foundation of Ministry Team life.  Great Yarmouth PCC voted to become part of the Inclusive Church Network in 2022.  All 3 churches have received Bronze Eco Church awards.

We are looking for a second Team Vicar who will be responsible for developing our congregational life through worship and nurture of all ages with a special focus on the spiritual life of our church school.

This is an exciting time to join a team which is seeking to change, grow and develop.  The new clergy will need to work effectively together with the Team Rector and others to help navigate the way.

Closing date: 11:59 pm Tuesday 14 January 2025

Interviews: Thursday 6 February 2025
