Vicar of the Parish of Wargrave, with Knowl Hill
Vitality

Are you called to serve at the heart of a thriving village community? The Parish of Wargrave, with Knowl Hill, is searching for a new vicar to lead us with vision, and compassion, bringing vitality to a historic parish.

We’re far more than just a church building – we are the spiritual heartbeat of our village community. Our ideal vicar will be someone who is equally at home with our ‘Senior Church’ – the pillars of our congregation – as well as our ‘Junior Church’, helping us attract the next generation of families. You will want to see lives transformed by Christ to keep our church growing. You will have a deep love for people, from every age and background, and a gift for bridging the generational gap, ensuring everyone feels valued, engaged, and encouraged on their journey of faith.

We need a warm-hearted leader who values diversity, while respecting differing viewpoints. So, we seek someone who can guide our parish with empathy through these conversations, ensuring no one feels left behind.

If you are passionately Christ-centred, able to preach the gospel with joy in your heart, a dynamic communicator, and ready to lead a vibrant parish into its next chapter, we would love to hear from you.

The perks? The vicarage is a gem - just a few minutes from the church, the village green, schools, and a short stroll to the river.  Wargrave is a vibrant community, rich in heritage, with excellent transport links to Henley, Reading, London, and beyond.

For an informal conversation please contact The Ven Stephen Pullin on 07435 798846 or via this email: archdeacon.berkshire@oxford.anglican.org
