We are a small parish in rural North Canterbury, 30 mins from Rangiora, and 45 mins from Christchurch, where you can ski Mt Hutt then surf the East Coast in one day.

We are looking for a new vicar to lead our worship who can balance the traditional side of worship with a freer Spirit-led side and help us to expand into a thriving church servicing our local area. A person who understands living in a rural township and is comfortable working alongside other denominations and the wider community.

Applicants must be an Anglican priest in good standing with their bishop, who already have the right to work in New Zealand and be willing to undertake Police/MOJ vetting. A parish profile and an expression of interest form are available by emailing the Executive Assistant at the Diocese of Christchurch: bishopsea@anglicanlife.org.nz or by phoning 03 348 6701. Expressions of Interest close 5pm on Monday 11 September 2023.
