Introduction
Director of Youth Ministry in Communion
St Mary’s, Putney
Associate Priest
Do you want to reinvigorate and grow youth ministry within the liturgical and sacramental traditions, creating and developing young disciples across South London?
If so, becoming the Director for YMIC Southwark could be the position you are looking for.
The project has received significant funding through the diocesan investment programme and is inspired and supported by Youth Ministry in Communion, a network set up in the London Diocese, ymic-london.org. We will be building on their model for supporting parishes in becoming thriving centres of Christian youth ministry. Our initial aim is developing a network in Southwest London based around the Parish of Putney Hub.
So far 15 churches have expressed an interest in the network. We further anticipate launching two new networks within a seven year period spreading this model of collaborative youth work to other parts of Southwark Diocese. In due course the networks may launch new ecclesial communities for young people.
The role of the post holder is to:
- Run events for young people that will support their faith and engagement with their local church.
- Mentor, advise and otherwise support local youth ministry teams.
- Recruit, deploy and oversee part time youth ministers in network parishes.
- Provide training to emerging youth leaders.
The associate priest will have a liturgical home (belonging and leading) at St Mary’s Putney, be part of the parish ministry team and contribute to worship and ministry in All Saints’ Putney and our partner churches.
For further information, please contact, Revd John Whittaker, Rector of Putney john.whittaker@parishofputney.co.uk
