Vicar, St Nicholas Chiswick

St Nicholas church, located close to the River Thames, in Chiswick, West London, is an inclusive parish firmly in the liberal catholic tradition, with a strong liturgical worship tradition in a modern catholic style. With good existing connections into the local community, the congregation is looking to develop further opportunities for service and outreach, and to build and grow the church in numbers and spiritual depth.

To assist in this, the next Vicar will:
• Draw on a secure and deep Christian faith to give clear and confident leadership in mission within the Parish, whilst demonstrating a genuine love for all those to whom they minister.
• Be able to think strategically, and to help the church discern and prayerfully develop a clear and collaborative vision.
• Be community-minded, people-focused and instinctively inclusive. They should be able to demonstrate a track record in empowering people to exercise and grow their own gifts and talents within the church, including developing and releasing those with leadership gifts.
• Have experience of actively supporting work with young people and be able to help the parish develop its ministry to children, teenagers and young families.
