Community Minister

Community Minister

The family of Christ Church Chineham (CCC) is pretty special. We’re not perfect of course, but we’ve emerged from the pandemic years in good health, and are growing numerically, in diversity and love for one another and our community.

As well as being a Church, we also run Chineham’s main Community Centre, and we have hundreds of locals visiting each week for community or church-run groups. God has been very good to us, and we have many more opportunities to reach out with the Gospel good news that we can take advantage of. So we wish to appoint an assistant Minister to support our Lead Minister to help us develop our ministry both internally and within our wider community. We want to grow as disciples in all of life, to release more of our existing gifts into ministry, and to share Jesus more widely.

We’re therefore asking God to lead us to men or women who will help us make disciples and cultivate a loving and spiritually mature network of relationships and community, embracing the evangelical, ecumenical and informal DNA of CCC. Particular responsibilities and titles aren't as important to us as discovering how the team can together best use our God-given gifts and abilities to join in God’s work of building his Kingdom. But the Purpose of the role is clear:

• To help grow the internal and external communities of CCC, strengthening our mission and ministry, working collaboratively with the Lead Minister and with other Ministry Leaders and staff
• To be part of the Leadership Team helping discern what God wants us to focus on, and ready to respond in prayer and faith.

We're just finalising details for this role for 20-25 hours/week. Here's the Job Description: Community Minister Job Description. The salary will be in the usual range for ministers, and we have a contributory pension scheme. We will need you to work some evenings, weekends and public holidays.

If you'd like to know more, please contact our Lead Minister, Rev Jonathan Clark, onjonathan@christchurchchineham.org.ukwho would love to chat in confidence.

To apply, please complete ourApplication Form and return to our Administrator Rebecca Pain atrebecca@christchurchchineham.org.ukby Sunday 17th March.
