The Benefice of Harlington, Tingrith and Westoning is part of the Diocese of St Albans and the formal addition of Harlington to the Benefice after some years of working together provides a particular opportunity to move forward together. It is an exciting time to join this Benefice as it develops further its common mission and outreach.
The Benefice is nestled in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside and has the added bonus of excellent transport links by road and train.
Our vision for the Benefice is:
• to be welcoming and inclusive places which serve the people in our communities.
• to help people of all ages and backgrounds meet with Jesus and grow in their relationship with Him.
• to see God’s Kingdom continue to be extended by reaching out and welcoming those who are unconnected with church.
We are looking for:
• is a spirit filled person of prayer and a faithful teacher of the bible.
• is an enabler who nurtures others in their ministries and spiritual gifts.
• is pastorally minded with a heart for community, outreach and engagement with people of all ages in our communities.
• will help us in our mission to share the good news of the gospel in ways which speak into individual lives.
• can develop the Benefice’s spirituality through a balance of tradition, teaching and contemporary worship.
• will promote unity and collaboration across the three parishes whilst supporting their individuality.
