Priest for Vessige, Okome, and Susedalen Parishes

The Falkenberg parish is large and has a strong economy.

Different parts of the parish have different expressions.

We are now recruiting a priest for Vessige, Okome, and Susedalen parishes, just outside the city. Here you will find smaller communities surrounded by villages and agricultural land.

Falkenberg is a fantastic city! It offers the advantages of small-town life with peace and security, affordable housing, and good schools for children. The inner city of Falkenberg is charming with many shops and restaurants. The city has a rich music and cultural life. There is amazing nature with vast sandy beaches, a vibrant agricultural landscape, and proximity to the forest. The entire area around Falkenberg is buzzing with creativity, featuring innovative artisans in food and drink as well as various crafts. The transportation links north and south are very good, making it easy to commute to Halmstad, Helsingborg, Varberg, or Gothenburg. It’s easy to build a life here!

Our new priest will be based in the Slöinge parish house alongside a dedicated team with various professions. The children’s activities are very lively. We want to further develop the confirmation activities once the new priest is in place. There are several meeting places for adults. We have two musicians with different musical backgrounds. The nearest supervisor also works in Slöinge. She has extensive experience as a manager and priest and is new in her position.

Our new priest will join the existing work with their knowledge and personality. However, there is also room for innovative thinking! Together we will keep the conversation going about what the church's mission is and how we remain relevant in our society and our time.

We are rainbow-certified and actively work on climate issues.

We encourage you to call area manager Eva if you are curious. Have a chat and inquire. You don’t need to know that you want to apply for the position. Just check it out...
