The Diocese of Durham is seeking a Priest-in-charge, St Columba (House for Duty).
We seek a House-for-Duty minister in the parish of St Columba (adjacent to St Herbert and St John). The committed congregation are praying for a minister who will enable them to develop their mission and reach out to all in the parish, including children and young people.
This post serves one parish, and there is just one church (with a superb, multi-function building), so there is a real opportunity to work for growth here.
The Diocese of Durham is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. All post holders and volunteers are expected to share this commitment.
