This is an exciting opportunity to reimagine work with young people and their families in a church community which is learning what it means to have children and young people at the heart of life together.
We are seeking a youth minister with a passion for seeing young people and their families encounter Jesus and grow as lifelong disciples. This is a key role in our newly formed leadership team, with a strong emphasis on pioneering fresh initiatives that connect with young people and their families both within and beyond the church.
We are looking, therefore, for a ministry leader to work across the parish who will facilitate the engagement and discipleship of young people during Sunday worship and at other times, and support families in nurturing their children’s faith. Their spirituality should inspire and shape the wider church community, encouraging intergenerational faith development.
For full details please see the job description attached.
