Senior Minister (Rector), Burnie Anglican Church

WANTED: a mission minded Minister for sunny north-west Tasmania

Burnie is a city by the sea and is an ideal place to live, work and play. The city is a vibrant regional hub that celebrates its industrial heritage while embracing a bright and creative future. With a population of 20,463 mostly concentrated along the coast and surrounding the main township, Burnie offers a mix of urban, residential, industrial and commercial areas.

Burnie is rich in natural beauty, with beaches, parks, gardens and waterfalls, along with a recently opened coastal bike/walk pathway to the nearby town of Wynyard (approximately 20 kms). Burnie is fast becoming a gateway for tourism, with Cradle Mountain and the Tarkine Wilderness areas approximately one hour’s drive away. During the summer months the city welcomes cruise ships from around the world. Burnie has access to its own regional airport and the Spirit of Tasmania passenger ferry is only 40 minutes’ drive away.

The Anglican Church there is looking for its new Minister. They need a leader who will love them and teach them. They need someone who will share the gospel with them, lead them in living for Jesus, and equip them to share the gospel in their homes, neighbourhoods and workplaces.

The Minister won’t be alone – there is a keen and active group of lay leaders in the parish, and there is a legacy of great work that can be built upon. And of course, God is at work.
