Canon Missioner

CANON RESIDENTIARY OF GUILDFORD CATHEDRAL

The Bishop of Guildford and Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, Guildford are looking for a new colleague to join us as a Residentiary Canon to serve as Canon Missioner.

We have growing congregations who are wanting to become more missional, to engage with our wider community and who have a desire for a deepening of discipleship. This is an exciting opportunity to join the cathedral as we finalise our Vision and Strategy for 2026-2030 which has mission and education at its heart.

We are looking for an exciting colleague who will help us to draw more deeply into the life of being a disciple and enabling others to join us too.

We offer a great team, in a beautiful cathedral, close proximity to London and a desire to grow.

Could God be calling you to explore this?

As a diocese we believe that diversity is a strength. We actively welcome and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, particularly those who are female, younger, identify themselves as a UK Minority Ethnic/Global Majority Heritage, or disabled, as it's essential that we reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
