Scottish Episcopal Church

United Diocese of Glasgow & Galloway

St Margaret’s, New Galloway

Priest in Charge (0.5fte)

An attractive opportunity for a priest to live and serve the people of one church in a beautiful corner of rural south-west Scotland. A warm welcome awaits someone who can inspire us in our worship and in carrying out God’s work in the community.

Our primary objective is to keep an active Episcopalian presence in the Glenkens and make the teachings of Jesus relevant in a contemporary world.

As our Priest-in-Charge has recently been promoted within the Diocese, we are looking for a new Priest, on a half-stipend with a charming Rectory next door to the church.

We are praying for someone who can respond to the spiritual needs and practical concerns of our church-family. Our warm and welcoming congregation actively participate in our worship as well as being committed to outreach locally and further afield. And recent growth plus changes in local worshipping patterns has given us a chance to extend our reach within the wider local faith community.

New Galloway, Scotland’s smallest Royal Burgh, is a delightful and popular village with a level of recreational activity that is unusual in a rural area. Next door to the church is the 4-bedroom Rectory with driveway, garage, garden and outbuildings.
