It is a diverse estate with many young families as well as older residents. About half of the residents own their homes and approximately 38% of all households are social rented. The estate is currently recognised as having high levels of deprivation, unemployment, single parents, elderly people and people with long term disabling illness. 31% of all households with children are lone-parent households. Large parts of the parish are amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in the country

Bishop Andrewes’ and St Peter’s are small but committed congregations.  We believe in the transforming love of God in Jesus, and we seek to share his love with our community, so people may have life in all its fullness. We are aiming to make “Jesus the heart of the community”.

Post Introduction

This role has been created in partnership between the Diocese of Southwark and Church Army to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to the St Helier Estate and to transform the community in His name.  Centres of Mission are small teams of evangelists living and working with local people especially those disconnected from church, seeking to unlock God’s potential within them and to grow new worshipping communities amongst them.  The Lead Evangelist will lead the North Sutton Centre of Mission, recruiting a Pioneer Evangelist to work alongside them, and will also be the Vicar of St Helier.  Members of the two congregations are enthusiastic about this appointment and the Centre of Mission and ready to volunteer to support it.

Our community needs someone who will love them and be committed to them; our church needs this too plus a leader who can help us to realise all of the God-given opportunities around us. We are quite informal in the way we do church and are looking for a Vicar who can cope with a bit of chaos and uncertainty.

We are seeking a new Vicar who will :

  •  Be full of courage, love and faith
  •  Be outward looking, leading us in mission and evangelism
  • Care for our congregation and community
  • Bring direction to our building project

We believe that God is calling someone to join us who will make a real difference to our parish. We can’t promise it will all be easy but we’ll pray for you, support you when its tough and rejoice at what we see God do through you. We can’t wait to meet you!

Informal enquiries are welcome. Please contact:

We need help!

Parish of the Risen Lord

We are searching for Christian volunteers (with a heart for the gospel and a heart for the poor) who would be willing to work in a less affluent area in Preston, Lancashire. (Our parish sits within the top 5% of parishes in the country in terms of multiple indices of deprivation).

With the help of the Eden Network – www.joineden.org – we are planning to get together a team of volunteers comprising at least 6 people who would be willing to live in our area and share the gospel in partnership with the church family.

Might God be calling you?

Once the team is assembled we’ll be seeking a leader who will inspire and encourage the team. This is the only paid post in the team, everyone else will need to find ways of supporting themselves.

Please message us if this has sparked an interest and we can talk further.

WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD SHARE THIS POST WIDELY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE CHRISTIAN FRIENDS AMONGST YOUR CONTACTS.

If you can do nothing else…. please pray for this!

Thank you.
