I’m pleased that you’re considering joining our team and I hope that the information in this pack will help you to understand both the role and the context of opportunity and change. This is an exciting time in the diocese, with the launch of the vision of a Transforming Church, Transforming Lives in 2016 leading to significant new missional energy in many of our churches, chaplaincies and schools. It has been especially encouraging to witness the development of several new worshipping communities since the launch, including some major projects in areas of new housing. Over the past two years we have brought together our diocesan teams into fresh, open plan offices on the University of Surrey Research Park, and more recently we have embarked on a major review of the services we offer, seeking to ensure that the diocesan strategy is well embedded, that our resources are efficiently managed, and that Church House Guildford is genuinely providing servant leadership in support of focused activity in our parishes. One outcome the strategic review at Church House Guildford is the development of a new way of supporting parishes in their identification of local needs, the resulting alignment of their parish strategy with those needs, and supporting them in the fulfilment of their plans. At the heart of our new approach is a fresh process: the Parish Needs Process. As part of this, a Mission Enabler will guide every church through a process of discernment towards a new/renewed vision and Church Development Plan, in preparation for the Archdeacon’s biennial visitation. We believe this will release faith, energy, hope and resources for church renewal, health and growth. The Parish Coordination Team is key to supporting the team of Mission Enablers, the Archdeacons and the parish teams through this process, and then in the implementation of their plans. As a member of the Parish Co-ordination Team, you will be instrumental in supporting the delivery of services and processes to fulfil these strategic goals, and enabling our parishes to engage most effectively with the Parish Needs Process and the delivery of their resulting plans. We are looking for a well organised and empathetic individual who works well with others in their team, the wider departments of Church House Guildford and parish teams across the diocese. Importantly we want a colleague who shares the missional passion and heart to reach and serve communities in this area.

In the Autumn of 2016 we launched our diocesan vision, Transforming Church, Transforming Lives, encouraging a deeper dependence on God in prayer, a focused attention to Parish Development planning and 12 Diocesan Goals as a framework for all of our mission here in Guildford. This has been well-owned from the start, not least because around 2000 people fed into the process through a SurveyMonkey and a series of clergy meetings and deanery prayer events; and at the heart of it is a commitment to growing ‘prayerful, confident disciples in daily life’, as expressed in the first and most important of the Diocesan Goals.

Our parish churches are a key part of our historical and architectural heritage as a nation and are often well-visited and well-loved. At the same time, they are living buildings, places of worship, fellowship and community engagement, through which and from which the church lives out its mission to be a transforming presence in the communities it serves: ‘salt and light’, in Jesus’ memorable metaphors. Guildford Diocese – which constitutes two thirds of Surrey, parts of North East Hampshire and one parish each in Sussex and Greater London - has many fine churches but not the very extensive medieval heritage found in some of the country, because much of Surrey was only developed with the coming of the railways.
