If you saw my pretty pictures taken from Dudley Zoo, you’ll remember that the Black Country is a beautiful place. And so are its people. And that’s why you should apply for a job here. Especially if you are ordained, because three evangelical Anglican churches (fairly) local to us are looking for new leaders:
St Matthew’s Walsall is the civic church for Walsall. Lots of opportunities and challenges in a multicultural town of over 67,000 people. Job vacancy details on their website.
And Holy Trinity Heathtown is in a deprived part of Wolverhampton but has a lively congregation wanting to reach out. Advert, parish profile and summary from the Lichfield Diocesan site.
St Matthew’s Tipton is the closest to us. and affiliated with New Wine. Advert and profile, again from the diocesan site. Tipton is another typical post industrial Black Country tow-un, with high levels of deprivation and a great need for the gospel.
So don’t delay! Apply today! I don’t *think* they’ll be using Dave Walker’s application process.

We’ve been in the Black Country for 15 years now. Certainly a beautiful and busy place to live and work.
I second this! The Black Country is a great place to live and work. The best thing about the Black Country is the people – very friendly and welcoming. And there are so many opportunities for churches. It’s a great place to be, we love it!
I love Black Country . Lovely people and great place for ministry . I have been a missionary over 3 years here and hopeful by God’s grace will be on training for ordination and if God calls me back to Black Country, I will embrace it straight a way.
