Finances
Parish finances are healthy. Although our giving does not cover all our Church running costs, including the parish share, the income from our halls and buildings more than makes up for any shortfall. We have an annual turnover of about £200,000 from all sources and normally generate a surplus of up to £20,000 some of which we are able to give away and the rest we are putting towards the eventual renovation of some of our halls.
NOTE: Shortlisted candidates will be contacted with details of arrangements for interview, which will include a pre look at the St Bartholomew's Church & Centre, (as in operation on the day of the interview), and lunch.
Candidates warmly welcomed, encouraged, (if practical), and invited to visit the Parish and surrounding area, as they feel fit at their convenience. The absence of a visit will not affect or prejudice candidates for equal consideration.
