Introduction
This is an exciting opportunity to join our leadership team at the start of a new season,
with growing numbers of young people and as we seek to establish and grow new worshipping communities within the Redhill area.
We are excited by this project and hope that this will provide an opportunity for someone who is passionate about Church growth and development.
The role is to develop and grow the Children and Young People ministry with those aged 7 to 14 years at St Matthew’s Church and St Matthew’s Primary School by helping young people to live with God at the centre of their lives, linking with the school and supporting parents in the discipleship of their children. This includes both young people known to us and part of our church family, and those currently outside of Christian communities, seeking to bring them into a living relationship with Christ.
This is a unique opportunity to ‘write the book’ of youthwork in Redhill in an area of social and spiritual need which has never had a full time Church youth worker before, and to create a Youth ministry and cultivate growth among our children and young people, aged 7 to 14 years.
The role will include:
- Developing Forest After School Church
- Mentoring young people, prioritising small group support offering mentoring and coaching to emerging leaders.
- Enabling children / youth to be involved in planning and co-creating worship.
- Organising and leading opportunities to worship in small groups of children/youth and larger groups that are intergenerational, invitational, inspiring and inclusive, reflecting the community’s values.
- Being a visible presence in school at key times to offer or sign post support to parents.
- Developing a model of church/school work that can be transferred to another church and school in the area
- Leading and developing youth programmes
- Building discipling relationships
We are praying for someone to join the team who will be a spiritually mature, resilient Christian leader who combines energy and enthusiasm with emotional stability.
We are looking for someone with experience of youth leadership and ministry sufficient to hold responsibility in a large church context, and able to take our youth ministry to the next level. You will need to be approachable, compassionate, flexible and servant hearted.
A supportive team player and collaborative worker, comfortable working within an inclusive church environment.
