VACANCY OPEN
TEAM RECTOR AT TRINITY & ST PAUL’S
CHELTENHAM

Trinity is a large, vibrant, charismatic evangelical Anglican church working in close partnership with St Paul’s, as two distinct churches with a shared spiritual DNA and missional vision. The churches are diverse, multi-generational and growing, with ministries reaching the people of Cheltenham, the region and overseas.

The Bishop of Gloucester, the Patronage Board (which includes the Simeon’s Trustees) and the PCCs are looking to appoint an exceptional and experienced candidate to be the senior leader at Trinity and to oversee the Team Ministry, working with ordained and lay colleagues in a staff of around thirty.

People standing in line outdoors in a sunny urban setting, some under canopy tents, with a building decorated with colorful flags in the background.
