The Role of the Rector
You will be heading a team of clergy who will share the work for the whole Parish.
You will have an enthusiastic team of office staff and willing volunteers that will help with the day to day running of the Parish, and in particular the operation of the three churches.
You will not be working on your own!
The full programme of services in our three churches is described later in this profile. You will be expected to coordinate the team to ensure the congregations of all three churches feel well cared for.
You will be working with the team in a variety of areas across the Parish including:
- Involvement with local schools, e.g. taking assemblies on a regular basis.
- Visits and services in local care homes.
- Dropping in for coffee with local residents.
- Funeral visits.
- Wedding preparation.
- etc.
As well as working with the local councils, you will also be a key link with other churches in the area (through Churches Together in Wokingham, the Deanery Synod and Deanery Chapter).
You will enjoy Love and support from your congregations and the local community.
