Vicar Vacancy

Following the retirement of Chris after 30 years of faithful ministry earlier this year, we are now looking for our next vicar to lead our parish into an exciting new chapter.

St Matt’s is a lively and welcoming evangelical church in the centre of High Brooms, Tunbridge Wells. We are a diverse congregation, with a vision to grow spiritually, grow in number, and grow in community outreach. We are an active church with a contemporary and informal style of worship, a committed team of lay leaders, and a desire for everyone to be included.

We are prayerfully looking for a vicar who:

  • Leads with integrity and is able to get alongside all kinds of people
  • Demonstrates grace, wisdom, and sensitivity in leading a diverse congregation
  • Is committed to evangelism, and is able to nurture and encourage people in discipleship through prayer, teaching, and example
  • Works collaboratively, looks to develop gifts in others, and is open to the leading of the Holy Spirit
  • Has a heart for community outreach, and will inspire and equip us to reach out beyond our walls
