Youth Worker

Emmanuel Church has a long track record of developing exciting and dynamic youth programmes that engage young people spiritually, socially, and emotionally.

Since our work commenced in Portadown 7 years ago, a small dedicated and passionate team of volunteers have faithfully discipled and supported our young people. With increasing numbers of young people attending and a heart to develop and grow our youth work we are seeking an individual who will collaborate with volunteers to build on our current activities, develop new programmes and lead our youth work forward.

Our vision in Emmanuel Youth is to invest in and disciple a generation of young people to become uncompromising in their pursuit of Jesus. We aim to be a place of fun and safety as well as a source of help and support as young people navigate growing up in the world.  At Emmanuel we seek to ensure our connection with young people moves beyond entertainment and is consistent in how it enthusiastically commits to sharing in their life journey.  

We are seeking a youth worker who has the ability to work with and expand our team of volunteers to connect with and inspire our young people, to lead our youth ministry, and to help create an environment where young people are supported and feel empowered to achieve their dreams.  Christian discipleship is core to our delivery and our hope is that as we interact and journey with young people, they would discover who Jesus is and learn to follow him in all of life.  This new role presents an opportunity for a creative individual to bring their gifts and experience with youth to Emmanuel Church and to develop and help shape the youth work to reflect the call of God in the context of the times we face.
