We are seeking a passionate, energetic, and resourceful individual to serve as our Children and Youth Worker Lead in the Church, and in the Community, working within our wider Vision Goals.

- Growing inward & upward: Develop and implement imaginative, fun, and engaging programs, activities & events that resonate with children and young people, and encourage and inspire them in life and faith (school holiday activities, mission trips, youth camps, and social outings.) This includes finding or designing age-appropriate resources, tools and materials. Help families to nurture spiritual growth in the home.
- Growing outward: Build strong connections with local schools and community groups to extend the church’s partnerships and outreach. Organize and participate in outreach initiatives with children and young people in the community.
- Enthuse, empower, enable: Recruit, train, and equip volunteers to serve in children and youth ministry, ensuring they are supported and empowered; foster a strong, supportive team environment among volunteers and ministry leaders. Work alongside other church teams, leaders, and ministries to foster a unified, intergenerational, and holistic approach to ministry.
