For the Appointment of an Associate Vicar for Discipleship

Dear Future Colleague!

Thank you for showing interest in this profile. I hope it will inspire you to consider applying to join our team. The post of Associate Vicar with particular responsibility for Discipleship, was created out of our Vision strategy which we have developed since 2007. We’re now starting to see growth from this and seek your skills and ministry to enable the churches to accomplish God’s plans for us.

The United Benefice of Moseley was formed in 2007 and one of the initial priorities was to work out the resources needed to fulfil our Vision aims and objectives; this resulted in the creation of the Ministry Tree model (article 3 below) which defines key areas of responsibility for the Associate Vicar. The post is of incumbent status and will be primarily focused on leading the ministries Discipleship and Formation, Growing Leaders, and Evangelisation. In the profile we’ve highlighted areas where these have already produced good fruit, but also list significant areas for development.

The Benefice is a place where we share and support each other’s ministry and this post offers many of the joys of being a Vicar without having to hold all the responsibility alone. I hope you’ll come and visit us, to experience what we have to offer and how this may be the place where you can serve God in the future.
