Could God be calling you to lead Mission Ipswich East?

We are seeking a Bible-believing, Spirit-filled, ordained minister to serve as our next Vicar and lead Mission Ipswich East into a bold new season of growth, mission, and disciple-making.

Mission Ipswich East is one parish with two churches, St John the Baptist and St Andrew’s, committed to faithful preaching, expectant prayer, and making Jesus known across north-east Ipswich.

This is a significant opportunity to lead a large evangelical parish with a committed staff team, gifted lay leaders, and established children’s and community ministries.

We are looking for someone who:

  • loves Scripture and teaches it clearly;

  • proclaims Jesus with conviction, clarity, and warmth;

  • offers proven leadership shaped by courage, humility, and faith;

  • has a strong heart for mission and evangelism; and

  • longs to see the gospel bear fruit in church and parish.

Mission Ipswich East is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and vulnerable adults, and of all who come into contact with the Church.

All appointments are subject to satisfactory safer recruitment checks, including Enhanced DBS clearance. For an informal conversation and application details, please contact the Archdeacon of Ipswich.
