We are an evangelical church with an outreach ministry to people of all ages and stages in our low-income community. Our regular activities include a toddler group, coffee mornings, free hot refreshments, and we have good links with local schools and care homes.

- Work alongside us, to develop and direct the gifts of the whole congregation, and deepen our Christian discipleship;
- Be a catalyst for our mission to the community, interested in people of all-ages, and able to nurture growth in our church.
- Offer pastoral ministry within the church family
We can offer you:
- A small team of dedicated church members who all play our part in the mission and ministry of our church;
- An ethos motivated by the compassion and love of Jesus where all are welcome, and where we go the extra mile to serve the needs of our community.
This post is offered under Common Tenure EITHER as a House-for-Duty post with a four-bedroom vicarage provided, OR as a part-time 0.4 stipendiary post without housing provided at a stipend of £15,836, depending on the needs of the person appointed.
