A Parish Profile is a document that provides an overview of your parish. The purpose is specifically for filling a vacancy for a new priest. It’s your opportunity to present the church, community, services and events, as well as your mission plan and the qualities you would like your new leader to have.
Equally, a potential candidate can look through the parish profile to help them decide if the parish is a good fit for them.
A template profile has been designed by the Communications Team at the Diocese of Norwich to help you to produce the profile. Ideally, this will help parishes to keep design costs and time low.
If you need support writing the content for your parish profile, please talk to your Archdeacon first of all. For design support, please get in touch with the Communications Team at news@dioceseofnorwich.org
