Vacancy for a rector in Newtownards

The Diocese of Down and Dromore, Parish of Newtownards, St Mark's, seeks to appoint a rector.

The Parish, in a substantial market town located 8 miles from Belfast, has about 800 families and is currently staffed with a Diocesan Reader and a Director of Youth and Family Ministry.

The Rectory is approximately 1 mile from the church and is set on a mature site.

The church building has been extensively restored and a new Parish Centre was built 4 years ago.

We are a dynamic Parish with a vision for the future, embracing traditional and contemporary styles of worship.

The new Rector should have a strong and enthusiastic pastoral ethos, with a wish to maintain the present ecumenical tradition within the Parish.

Visit the parish website here.

Applications should be received by: 20th May 2011
