Children and Youth Minister

We are looking for someone to come and join our team to lead the ministry with Children and Young people (0-18). This is a key appointment for the church as we move forward out of Covid restrictions, embrace the opportunities for change that this time has presented and address a need for greater input into this vital part of our church life.

At the start of 2019, we had a steady ministry with children and young people led by volunteers and supported by the co-ministers. At our Sunday morning gatherings, there was a creche, a children’s (5-11) and young people’s (11-18) group which were well attended. Additionally, the youth group met on Sunday evenings for socials and discipleship small groups and went to soul survivor each year and we held a very successful playgroup. Covid presented us with some challenges in trying to meet the needs of children and young people, but now as we move forward, we are excited by the opportunity to re-form and grow this work.

The purpose of this role is to lead our ministry with children and young people within the church, equipping and empowering volunteer leaders in their ministry to these age groups. The ministry leader will be able to develop new ways to support the discipleship and Christian spirituality of children and young people and will desire to extend this work by seeking ways to share the gospel across the town through links with local schools and partnerships with other churches and youth clubs.
