We want our Estates Apprentice to help the congregation discern the work of the Holy Spirit in our local communities, particularly amongst low-income residents who live on the housing estates.  The post holder will embark on a two-year journey to learn and grow in ministry within an estate or low-income community (LIC). You will gain hands-on experience in planting and leading a New Worshipping Community (NWC). 

We envisage that there are various ways in which you will pursue estate based ministry through St Thomas’ Church, including:
•    Working through our sister charity Clapton Commons  and its outreach projects and partnerships
•    Developing, with others, quality after-school provision in our newly refurbished undercroft, 
•    Shaping our Children and Families’ ministry provision, not least through “home holiness practices”

How to apply for the job

If you are interested please email vestry@saintthomasclapton.org for an application form and/or an informal discussion, if helpful.
