Rector

St John the Baptist, Kirkheaton


Huddersfield | Diocese of Leeds


This lively evangelical church is on the outskirts of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire (ASA 100 adults with daughter church in the neighbouring village of Grange Moor ASA 13). In addition to ASA the church has regular contact with approximately 150 additional people during each month through mid-week events.

The parish has a population of 15000 and is looking for someone who is committed to biblical preaching and witness under the direction of the Holy Spirit.


We are seeking someone who is:


  • Passionate about seeing new people come to faith in Jesus Christ whilst encouraging and challenging the congregation to grow in faith and commitment
  • Flexible and dynamic in helping us to maintain a balance between traditional, contemporary and alternative worship for people of every generation
  • Committed to helping us develop our work with children and young people
  • Pastorally sensitive and committed to supporting and growing our pastoral teams
  • Committed to working collaboratively and team building
  • Creative and strategic in their approach to ministry and mission in order to help us be effective in serving our three communities at Kirkheaton, Dalton and Grange Moor


There is a modern four bedroomed Rectory in Kirkheaton and access to a range of good local schools both primary and secondary.
