Youth Minister

Youth Minister

We are seeking a gifted Youth Minister (part-time) who will lead, energise, and develop our Youth Ministry at Holy Trinity. We remain convinced that God is calling us to make ministry and evangelism amongst teenagers a central priority in our church life, and we are determined to support and release our next Youth Minister to enable growth and transformation amongst this part of our church family.

Purpose of the role

To lead, oversee and develop our ministry (on Sundays and midweek) with high-school aged young people (from Year 7 to Year 13). Particular emphasis of the post includes: 

• the recruitment, training, encouragement and motivation of a team of volunteer leaders; 
• direct involvement in the planning and delivery of sessions; 
• the ability to work collaboratively to develop the overall strategy for our youth ministry, so that young people encounter Christ and grow in relationship with him. We would expect the post-holder to be a fully committed member of Holy Trinity and worshipping with us each week. The new Youth Minister will join our small staff team who meet each week to pray, worship and plan together
