Assistant Minister, Holy Rood Edwalton
37.5hrs/week, including Sundays / Starting salary ca. £30,000 depending on skills & experience, plus pension & other benefits / Permanent
Edwalton Church is at a significant point on its journey with many interesting opportunities emerging as part of its life and ministry:
- There has been a big increase in the number of people living in the Parish. With some 1500 new homes, our population has doubled to over 6000.
- The local Anglican Diocese is supportive of the way we are heading, with a clear vision of how Edwalton Church can play its part in growing disciples who are motivated by compassion, whose lives and faith are rooted in Jesus, and who act with courage in sharing Jesus with others wholeheartedly.
- The church has been growing numerically over the last few years, meaning that capacity within leadership structures needs to also be increased. Organisational capabilities have recently been strengthened with extended hours for office staff, and all trustee roles are currently filled.
- Significant funds are available to deploy staff and redevelop the church’s Hall, which will enable missional opportunities to be realised.
These factors mean that we feel the time is right to step out and appoint a full-time Assistant Minister.
We are looking for someone who will – prayerfully – grow disciples through:
- Pastoral ministry and leadership
- Mission and outreach
- Team collaboration
- Communications
- Intergenerational ministry
