This is an exciting opportunity to join our new leadership team at an exciting time as our church grows, with increasing numbers of young people coming through and as we see our connection with Youth in the local Merstham area bear fruit.
If you are someone who is passionate about developing and growing youth ministry and you have the necessary skills and experience to meet the social and spiritual needs of young people, including unchurched youth, and feel called to be part of our journey we would be delighted to hear from you.
The Diocese of Southwark is one of the 42 dioceses of the Church of England, created in 1905 from part of the ancient Diocese of Rochester. The Diocese covers South London and East Surrey, is one of the largest Dioceses in the Church of England and the most diverse, and is divided into three episcopal areas: Croydon, Kingston, and Woolwich. It has the London home of the Archbishop of Canterbury and has the centre of the Church of England in the diocese, Lambeth Palace. Today the Diocese ministers to nearly three million people over an area of 317 square miles through its 293 parishes and 105 church schools, educating more 37,000 young people. The churches offer welcome, care and dignity to their parishes, supporting those in education, hospitals and prisons, and pioneering communities seeking to reach out and serve in new ways.
