The Anglican Parish of Greater Hastings

Seeking Expressions of InterestThe Anglican Parish of Greater Hastings encompasses St Matthew’s Anglican Church, Hastings; St Peter’s Anglican Church, Riverslea; St Martin’s Community Hall, Mayfair; Parkvale; Mahora & Flaxmere.
From May 2024 we have the flexibility to explore new opportunities in ministry as a Priest Associate is withdrawing from full-time stipended ministry. This opens these possibilities:

1. A 0.5 FTE position to compliment that of our Priest Associate. This position will be no less than 0.4 FTE and no more than 0.6 FTE.
   
2. A full-time stipended ministry position as Priest Associate.

Ideally these options would be suited to an ordained Anglican clergyperson, however as a skills-based team the 0.5 FTE position would also suit a layperson who added to the team’s skill set.

Initially this would be for a 2-year fixed-term position which will be reviewable and renewable.

Our faith communities, which lie at the heart of Hastings, are diverse and inclusive, embracing contemplative and justice focussed spirituality.

Hawke’s Bay is the fruit and vegetable bowl, as well as the wine and craft beer glass of Aotearoa New Zealand, with an enriching arts and culture scene, excellent academic opportunities, fabulous outdoor experiences, and superb sporting facilities.

Please send your Expression of Interest to Sandra Gifkins, EA to Bishop Andrew Hedge, sandra.gifkins@waiapu.com by Friday 26 January 2024.
