Rector | Badshot Lea & Hale

Badshot Lea & Hale is an inclusive parish in north Farnham with three churches and congregations who enjoy their differences and celebrate their unity.  We are looking for a Rector who is kind, easy-going, approachable and fun, who will encourage us on our continuing journey with God.

We want to be a parish that:

• has a deeper connection with God, our community and one another

• develops our existing culture of vocation
• uses our buildings for the benefit of the whole parish

We are praying for a Rector who is:

• a collaborative leader, capable of delegation
• able to help us grow younger and increase congregation numbers
• sensitive to different styles of worship
• dedicated to inclusion

We offer:

• welcoming congregations
• administrative support and a spacious house
• a thriving town with a lively arts scene
