  • The Uffington Group of Churches Benefice Profile and Statement Of
    The Bourne Uffington Group of Churches A6121 Benefice Profile A15 and Wilsthorpe Statement of Needs Braceborough A6121 Greatford Market Deeping Barholm West Deeping A1 A1175 Uffington Tallington Stamford A606 Introduction Thank you for taking an interest in the Uffington Group of Churches. If you are reading this to see whether you might be interested in becoming our next Rector, we hope you will find it helpful. If you are reading this for any other reason, we hope you will find this profile interesting, and if you are in the area, or might just be passing through, we hope that you might wish to come and see us. We hope that our new Rector will be able to inspire us in three key areas of our discipleship growth plans: drawing more of our villagers, especially from the missing generations, to respond to the message of the gospel (ie making more Christ-like Christians, as Bishop Edward King might have said); enhancing the faith of current members of our congregations (responding to the need for more Christ-like Christians, as Bishop Edward King did say); ensuring that our seven churches are not only kept open and functioning, but are made more attractive focal points for the lives of our parishioners and communities. We believe that such a person is likely to be: someone who will prayerfully seek to preach, teach and share scriptural truth; willing to grasp the nature of rural ministry; able to preserve the identity of each parish while maintaining coherence of the Group; comfortable with a range of worship and broad expression of faith; able to develop and communicate an inspirational vision for building God’s work amongst all ages in the Group and in each parish; able to lead, cultivate and enthuse teams of volunteers involved in the ministry, administration and upkeep of the seven churches; open, approachable and supportive, and willing to be visible at community events in all the villages; keen to guide and support the Christian ethos of the Uffington Church of England Primary School, being a regular visitor to the school and ex-officio governor.

  • Colsterworth Church Statement of Need
    Colsterworth Church Statement of Need 1. Introduction The Church of St John the Baptist in Colsterworth is an outstanding example of heritage, in that it provides a physical narrative of over a thousand years of architecture, culture, spirituality and the conflict between science and religion. Embedded in its history we find an indisputable connection with Sir Isaac Newton, a figure of global, scientific significance. This provenance transcends even Newton’s link with Westminster Abbey, though tragically, like many other examples of significant heritage, it is at risk. An article in the Guardian newspaper (8.6.15) reminds us that our significant heritage is largely dependent on the support of small, declining religious communities: ‘Congregations are falling – so what can be done to keep historic churches open?’ One solution is to make the buildings work harder for rural communities. Dr Jill Hopkinson, the Church of England’s national rural officer, reminds us of some of the basic principles of increasing the use, and therefore the longevity of the buildings. She adds that this might involve adding toilets and kitchen facilities; in some places the church could be used as a post office or community shop: ‘We do need to think creatively. Shutting the doors should be the last option, not the first.’ It is our proposal that we go further than this. We wish to make this significant example of heritage a dynamic entity which enriches engagement with history, heritage and creativity. In order to do this, through the establishment of a heritage centre for learning and the arts, we need the addition, at a very basic level, of certain essential facilities.
