This Associate Minister post, open to ordained men and women, is an Incumbent-status post, similar to that of many Team Vicar roles. It carries a large degree of autonomy, but with the support of a wider team. The role combines responsibility for the day-to-day running and leadership of Townfield Church, with shared ministry across the parish under the leadership of the Rector.
We are a two-church evangelical parish in a suburban area of the Wirral. St Andrew’s is an ancient church, dating back over 900 years, with a long evangelical history. Townfield is our most recent church plant, having started in 1992 in the church school. It is now an established church in its own right, serving the school community and nearby area whilst remaining a part of the parish, and operating in close partnership with St Andrew’s Church.
We are seeking a minister who:
· has a love for Jesus and for people
· is a gifted and flexible Bible teacher and preacher
· is committed to personal and corporate prayer
· has a passion for reaching the lost and nurturing the Christian faith
· is a collaborative team player
· models grace and truth in life, ministry and leadership
The post is fixed for the maximum legally permissible 5-year term, which will be renewable. Funding for this post is secure.
· Closing date: 8 February 2026
· Interviews: 6 March 2026
You are very welcome to contact the Rector, Revd David Vestergaard, for an informal conversation on david@standrewsbebington.org.uk or 0151 458 2794.
