Knowlton Circle Benefice

The Ministry Team

On 11th February the Benefice entered into a vacancy following the Rector’s departure to a new appointment. Revd Robert Simpson is dearly missed and during this Interregnum the Benefice Ministry Team with the generous support of the Diocese Clergy is providing worship in all our churches and we eagerly look ahead to when a new Rector can be installed.

We are seeking a priest who will:

• Enjoy community life and the rural church, and by example lead and encourage our Christian presence within the community

• Embrace diversity and help us worship in the different styles appropriate to the congregations

• Exercise pastoral leadership helping us to be a Christian witness in our communities

• Be a presence in our church schools and develop our ministry to all ages, residents and visitors alike.

We offer a 4 bedroom Rectory in Cranborne, a team of supportive lay leaders and retired clergy and the warmth and welcome of the Wimborne Deanery.

For an informal discussion please contact Revd Canon Lucy Holt on 07713 490076 or by email onlucy.holt@salisbury.anglican.org

Closing date:26 September 2024

Visit and interview:15 and 16 October 2024

An enhanced DBS is required.
