Current Vacancies
Our Connexion churches currently have two ministerial vacancies.
The locations of our 21 churches span from the South East and the Midlands to Manchester and St Ives in Cornwall. Each church has a distinctive personality, which adds to the interest and diversity of The Connexion as a whole. What they have in common is a desire to build a supportive, expanding, spirit led Christian network, which honours the legacy of the Countess of Huntingdon’s work in the 18th century.
Minister - Woodmancote Church
Woodmancote Church in Woodmancote, Cheltenham, is a small, welcoming and outward focused fellowship of Christians who are looking to grow!
The church feel that God is moving them into a fresh new season, which is hugely exciting for all, and as part of this, they are seeking a new Minister with energy and a passion for Christ to join them and help to take their ministry forward.
The new minister will join the current Leadership Team of three. A small stipend is available and all work expenses would be covered. The key aims are to:
- Preach the Word of God
- Pastor and equip Woodmancote's congregation
- Reach out to the 'unchurched'

Pastor - St Stephen's Church
St Stephen’s Church in Middleton is seeking a new Pastor to lead the congregation and take the church into the future.
St Stephen’s is a small evangelical church with a long history of work and witness in the town. Its Christ centred congregation has a vision for ‘Reaching the Community for Jesus Christ’, and a heart for sharing God’s love and the message of the gospel in areas outside the church.
St Stephen's is situated in a residential area in one of the highest parts of Middleton, approximately six miles from Manchester City Centre. Historically the church was the ‘hub’ of the community with a very large congregation and thriving children’s ministry, but following major rebuilding in the region, connecting with the community, particularly in deprived areas, has been more difficult.
The Future
After 200 years of worship and witness at St. Stephen’s we believe God still has a plan and purpose for our fellowship, and He has work for us to do.
New Pastor
The pastor we are prayerfully seeking is one with vision, called by Him to lead, encourage, empower and equip us in fulfilling the plans and purposes God has for our fellowship and the community around St Stephen’s.
The position is part-time, up to 60% FTE, with a salary of £27,000 per annum pro-rata. A free three-bedroom Manse is also provided as part of the position, with council tax and water bills paid.
