Vicar of Greyfriars, Reading
Greyfriars is a large and vibrant church in the centre of Reading, a growing town with a diverse population in the Diocese of Oxford. We are strongly evangelical and gently charismatic; a gathered church with a heart for the needs of our rapidly changing parish. Following a recent large building project, we are looking for a leader to take us forward in God’s vision, discipling current and future church members in knowing and serving Jesus and loving our neighbours.
You will be:
· Deeply rooted in Scripture, prayer, the work of Jesus and his Spirit.
· Passionate about introducing people to the living Jesus.
· A gifted preacher and teacher with a traditional evangelical understanding of the authority of Scripture.
· An experienced leader, able to lead a team, delegate and grow leaders and shape a healthy church culture.
· A pastor who values all members of the church community, loving the marginalised and enabling ministry to those in need.
· Collaborative and cooperative, listening effectively and enabling others to reach their full potential.

Our vision as a church is to see Reading transformed by the love and power of Jesus.
Greyfriars Church has been on the same site in Reading for hundreds of years, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus and serving the poor in Reading. We continue that mission as a group of believers coming from different parts of Reading, different backgrounds and different ages.
Our parish is made up of two churches, Greyfriars and New Hope, with one PCC and one team that oversees the activities within them.
There are so many ways you can get involved in the life of our church, through groups, serving, giving and worshiping with us.
