We have a remarkable opportunity for a visionary self-starter church-planter. We have a vision to plant into the original town centre church in Fareham, Hampshire.

The 800-year-old church of St Peter and St Paul is situated adjacent to Fareham Town Centre. Over the last year a vision has emerged to plant a ‘contemporary Anglican’ (evangelical-charismatic) church aimed at the younger generation, from St John’s Fareham, into this historic church, in partnership with Portsmouth Diocese.

This is a stipendiary post, that would start based at St John’s Fareham, with the hope of building team to be sent out with the plant. Grant money has been awarded by the national Church’s SMMI Board to re-order the church, employ initial staff, and kick-start this incredible faith venture.

This role is part of our diocese’s Vision and Strategy for the next five years, which includes plans to create new church plants and worshipping communities across our diocese, and to double the number of young disciples. For more information, see: www.portsmouth.anglican.org/strategy

Suitable candidates will have an apostolic church-planting calling, will be ordained in the CofE, have experience in church leadership and will be able to show evidence of growing churches or similar organisations.
