Under its Live: Pray: Serve strategy, the Diocese of Portsmouth is developing pioneering ministry, focusing on hard-to-reach areas, new housing developments, and on working with young people. As part of a £1.6 million investment, we have created three new full-time stipendiary pioneering posts, with diocesan support for the development and evaluation of new ministry.
An ordained pioneer who will encourage and nurture fresh expressions work with children, families and schools and all parts of the community within this growing area of Portsmouth.
An opportunity to work with local people to discover their needs, desires, hopes and aspirations and to find out how and where the church can meet them.
Our ordained St James Pioneer Minister will have:
- inspiration, energy, ambition, vision and ability to work collaboratively as part of a dedicated and enthusiastic team;
- commitment to play their part in caring for the pastoral wellbeing of the worshipping community and enquirers with devotion, sensitivity and skill;
- ability to work within the Anglican catholic tradition (extended episcopal oversight from the Bishop of Richborough).
