Emmanuel Theological College, based in Warrington, is looking for a new Dean.
Emmanuel has five centres across the North West of England, and ordinands training there include people from the Isle of Man.
The founding Dean, Canon Dr Michael Leyden, has been appointed as Bishop of Penrith so now the College Trustees invite applications – and prayers – as they seek to discern who God is calling to serve as the next Dean.
Emmanuel exists to raise up a new generation of Christ-centred, hope-filled and mission-orientated leaders for the Church in the North West and beyond. Rooted in the life of the local church and founded and owned by the six North West dioceses, the College is now the second largest Theological Education Institution in the Church of England, forming women and men from diverse backgrounds for ministries that will proclaim the gospel afresh in our time.
The College Trustees are seeking a leader with a deep love for Christ and his Church: someone rooted in prayer, nourished by Scripture, and able to speak authentically and compellingly of their own salvation. The college embraces the breadth of Church of England styles.
“Above all,” the Trustees say, “this is a calling to invest in people who will serve Christ’s Church for generations to come.”
The closing date for applications is Sunday 17th May with interviews taking place on Thursday 11th June in Blackburn Cathedral.
