Diocese

‘Diocese’ refers to the geographical territory in which a bishop exercises oversight. The Church in Wales is divided into six dioceses each with its own cathedral in which is housed the cathedra (the bishop’s ‘chair’ or ‘throne’).

Priest

‘Priest’ comes from the Greek word for ‘elder’. Priests in the Church in Wales are those authorised specifically to proclaim forgiveness of sins, preside at the Eucharist and bless God’s people, as well as other responsibilities.

TEAM VICAR - MYNYDD BEDWELLTE MINISTRY AREA

Mynydd Bedwellte in the heart of the Welsh Valleys is a vibrant and exciting group of churches. If you thrive working as part of a team ministry with supportive colleagues, then maybe God is calling you to join us in ministry at a time when we are blessed with additional resources to support us.

We are seeking a priest as Team Vicar with an understanding on how you develop community links and relationships in an area which is impacted by the issues of poverty and deprivation. A priest who has a heart to walk alongside people in their journey of faith and encourages them to be beacons of God’s presence in their communities.

There is great potential in this ministry area for the person who is able to have a vision to engage with the local community and nurture the gifts of congregation and community to bring about God’s hope and love.

Are you someone who:

  • loves people from all walks of life and can help develop a culture which will help the church family to thrive?
  • can facilitate and encourage people into action?
  • is a good manager of time, projects, and people?
  • has excellent communication skills and good use of IT?

If you think you might be that person we would very much like to hear from you.
