Welcome

We are pleased to welcome you to our church buildings for worship - please see details below.

If you are unable to join us in person there will be a service streamed on our Facebook pages and on this page each Sunday.

Are you able to inspire others? Are you seeking a Team Vicar role amidst some of the United Kingdom’s most stunning landscapes?

The South Lakes Team, set in the Lake District National Park, has an exciting opportunity for a Team Vicar. We are looking for someone who will work collegially with the Team Rector, ecumenical colleagues and committed and able lay people in this Mission Community, working together as an evolving team as we go on seeking to respond to God's call. Progress is being made within the churches and in outreach, with scope to go on developing towards fulfilling our potential.

We are hoping for a priest with a missional imagination who can make a difference by being:

• Prayerful
• Collaborative
• A people person
• Inspirational

We seek someone who will help us to grow into an outward looking team, will enjoy our variety, will nurture and encourage all ages, and will be enthused by the challenges and rewards that ministry in this team offers.

Come and join in with where God has been leading us in the South Lakes recently as we explore our next steps together.
