The Churches of Shipham Parish

We are in the process of appointing a new vicar for the new Benefice and writing a profile describing our churches and communities, our hopes for a new vicar.

Whether you not you attend church, we invite you to contribute to this process:

1 What do you want from your new vicar?

2 In what way does having a church in your community matter?

3 What do you value about your community?

To respond, please fill in a form online here:

New Vicar Questionnaire: your chance to share your thoughts and hopes - Fill out form.  Anonymous replies can also be made by completing a printed form in your Church.

You also have a chance to respond in person and ask about this process at an Open Meeting on Thursday 9th July 6.45-9.00 pm in Shipham Church.
