Job description

Vicar, Huntingdon (All Saints, St Mary's and St Barnabas) - Cambridgeshire

A Growing, Diverse, Missional Church Community

We are praying for a new Vicar who will lead us with vision, faith and love. Could it be you?

Huntingdon Parish and the benefice have been successfully led through a period of seismic change over the past seven years. This has created the foundations of a thriving church community of disciples.

We are now a lively, informal, evangelical and gently charismatic church family in a vibrant market town. God has been growing us in number, diversity and depth, and we’re now praying for a Vicar who can help shape our next season.

We are seeking a new vicar who possesses both vision and strategic insight to lead us confidently into the next phase of our journey. As we continue to grow in faith and deepen our commitment as disciples, we look for guidance to help us nurture our spiritual development. Furthermore, we remain dedicated to sharing the message of Jesus throughout our town, building upon the vibrant foundations already established within our church community.

We’re Looking For Someone Who

• Brings clear vision and strategic leadership.
• Has a pastoral heart and passion for discipleship.
• Teaches the Word in the power of the Spirit.
• Loves mission, especially among families, young people and the wider community.
• Leads collaboratively, releasing and equipping others.

What You’ll Find Here

• A warm, multi-ethnic, intergenerational church hungry to grow.
• A creative staff team and committed volunteers.
• Established ministries including Chatty Café, Messy Church, youth and children's work, Deaf Church, and outreach across the town.
• A flexible and welcoming town-centre church space.
• A parish full of opportunity and openness to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

If you long to see lives transformed, disciples grow, and a town blessed through the love of Jesus, we’d love to hear from you.

Could this be your next step? We’re praying for the person God might be calling to the parish.
