Archdeacon of Coventry & Archdeacon of Warwick
The Bishop of Coventry is seeking two exceptional colleagues who will work with her on building strong relationships within their archdeaconries and equipping our parishes for mission. They will share with the bishop and senior staff team in shaping the emerging strategy and implementing it across their archdeaconries so that people know they are supported wholeheartedly in their ministry.
Imaginative, creative and engaging communicators of the gospel who are experienced ordained priests in the Church of England, you will be committed to the flourishing of the Diocese of Coventry for the coming years, a place we very much hope you will love to call home.
To arrange an informal discussion please contact Elizabeth Egan:pa@bishop-coventry.org

Vicar of St Barbara's, Earlsdon, Coventry
Our mission is to grow in love for God, each other, our community and the world.
We are looking for someone who will guide us with compassion and care as we journey in God's love. At St. Barbara’s you will find a broad church of different ages, backgrounds and interests who all joyfully come together to worship God and deepen our understanding of the Scriptures. We are keen to serve our local community and work together with our new incumbent in sharing God's love among all people of all ages and backgrounds.
We would like a vicar who will:
- Proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom - be welcoming and inclusive to all
- Teach, baptise and nurture believers - allowing people to grow
- Respond to human need by loving service - for the church and wider community
- Seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation
- Strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth
Informal conversations very welcome with Area Dean, Matt Taylor: vicarstmartins@gmail.com
