Team Vicar - Newton St Peter

St Peter’s is one of five Church of England (Anglican) Churches in Newton-le-Willows and Burtonwood, that together form the Newton Team. The other churches in the team are St John’s (Earlestown), All Saints (Newton), Emmanuel (Wargrave) and St Michael’s (Burtonwood). We have a vibrant, warm and friendly congregation who enjoy worship and seek to serve our community. 

The five churches in Newton and Burtonwood are broadly middle-of-the-road in their tradition, with a more evangelical expression at St John’s Earlestown. They need encouraging leadership to build on their existing strengths and encourage new ventures in mission, especially in a post-Covid world.

The post-holder will have principal responsibility for St Peter’s Newton, a significant church building and congregation at one end of the High Street. St Peter’s is close to its church school and the vicarage is nearby.

Interim Team Vicar - Halewood and Hunts Cross Team

Halewood and Hunts Cross are suburbs on the outskirts of Liverpool with a mixed demographic and a good range of housing. They have good transport links and schools, are well served with local shopping areas, and adjoin some beautiful parks and farmland.

The three churches see their future as being defined as one people with three buildings. A typical Sunday will see over 250 adults and children worshipping here. The churches include the oldest LEP in the country, and joint working with Methodist colleagues is a valued part of their make up. They have excellent community links, with many groups using the church halls and community centre, and work with local schools. The buildings are all in good repair, and finances are broadly stable overall.

As part of Liverpool South Deanery, the parishes are currently exploring joining more closely together as part of the diocesan ‘Fit For Mission’ programme, to better serve the wider community and the mission of the church. They are therefore seeking an Interim Team Vicar who will be committed to this vision and will help the parishes navigate these conversations and decisions. You will be well supported by colleagues, working with the Priest in Charge (the Rector of Speke) and the current ministry team – which includes a Team Vicar based in Hunts Cross; a non-stipendiary minister with PTO, four Readers, a Reader Emeritus, and a Methodist Children’s Worker.
