Gipsy Hill (pop. 6,500, ER 122) is part of the bustling community of Crystal Palace in South London, with its panoramic views of the City, and is home to a diverse and multi-cultural mix of people reflecting its thriving local businesses, schools and groups.
Christ Church, (with its daughter church at Berridge Road), has a clear evangelical tradition. Our mission statement is “Seeking God’s Kingdom in Gipsy Hill” and we strive to be a church where everyone is welcomed and able to find faith. We're ready to build on our strengths to be even more at the heart of parish life. This is a friendly church, representative of the social and ethnic mix of the local community. Many in the congregations are involved in Sunday services and there is a lively programme of children’s activities.
We are seeking a priest who is
- A prayerful minister and caring pastor, with excellent interpersonal skills, who has the ability to nurture and disciple both congregations
- A preacher with an appealing communication style, who shares their evangelical and liturgical traditions
- Passionate about engaging with the local community
