Thank you for your interest in St Mary's Kemp Town!
Thank you for visiting St Mary’s Kemp Town and for your interest in the role of Priest-in-Charge.
We are a diverse, inclusive, and prayer-rooted parish in the heart of Brighton, seeking a priest who will share with us in the next chapter of our life and ministry. St Mary’s is a church where the doors are open wide — to those who have been part of the Church all their lives, and to those who are curious, questioning, or returning after time away. Our worship is thoughtful and reverent, the Gospel is proclaimed with honesty and hope, and we are committed to being a community in which all people are welcomed and affirmed.
As you explore this Parish Profile, (click to the right to download it) we invite you to read not only for information, but for a sense of who we are: our joys and challenges, our worshipping life, our engagement with our wider community, and our commitment to inclusion and justice. We are prayerfully discerning the gifts and experience we need in our next Priest-in-Charge, trusting that God is already at work in this process — in you as much as in us.
Whether you are actively discerning your next post or simply exploring where your ministry may be called to flourish, we hope these pages offer an honest and hospitable picture of life at St Mary’s. We would be delighted to welcome you to share in our common life and ministry.
Please be assured of our prayers as you reflect on this opportunity and discern the next steps in your priestly ministry.
