The main vision of the work is to offer leadership and guidance to the 8 churches in the Harrogate and Knaresborough Mission and Care Group, in their ministry with children, families and young people.
The postholder will identify opportunities to engage with children, families and young people in some areas, and will help to develop existing work in other areas.
The role also includes being part of the Yorkshire Synod WILDERNESS Hub team to deliver a central program for children and young people across the Yorkshire Synod of the United Reformed Church. The vision of the WILDERNESS Hub is to enable churches to be churches where every child and young person has the opportunity to experience the love of Jesus.
These new posts have been created to enable more holistic support for churches who are working hard to engage with children and young people in their local communities.
Yorkshire Synod is one of thirteen synods in the United Reformed Church. We are part of the Five Northerly Synods working together to share ideas, resources, worship and more.
The synod covers a vast area. From bustling cities, to seaside towns, to stunning countryside, we’ve got it all! Nearly 100 churches spanning from the south in Sheffield, up to Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford, spanning west to Huddersfield and Halifax, heading further north to York, Skipton + Harrogate, across to the beautiful east coast to Whitby, Scarborough and down to Hull.
