The North Wingfield Team Ministry are seeking a Pioneer Curate.
North Wingfield Team Ministry serves an area of ex-mining communities which have received much regeneration help in recent decades. The new house building is changing the demographic of the area, attracting a more aspirational culture, however, there are still many parts of the Team area which register on various deprivation indexes and low aspiration is present in these.
They believe pioneer ministry needs to be aimed at the areas of ex-coalboard and social housing. They strongly believe that pioneer ministry and fresh expressions of church could have an important impact for the Kingdom of God in these areas. This would be a ripe harvest field and exciting challenge for a pioneer curate to train. The area is made for a mixed economy church approach as the challenges exist alongside a vestigial Christendom perception in the population demonstrated by the demand for occasional offices and a generally positive perception of the church as an institution.
