Christchurch is a lively, biblically based, community-focussed church seeking to reach people who are not used to church and help them grow as disciples! Our dream is to see lives and communities throughout Welwyn Garden City transformed by God’s love.
The Church is keen to appoint a minister to share the pastoral responsibilities with the senior minister & be an integral member of the Leadership Team. Someone who is:
· Spiritually mature individual with leadership experience
· Theologically trained
· Organisationally and administratively capable
· Able to enthuse and enable others
· A good preacher, able to teach the Bible in ways that are accessible for people not used to church and applicable to our everyday lives
· A team player with a willingness to learn
· Able to line manage our youth and childrens workers
· Experience of ministry in a mid-large size church would be beneficial
We currently operate from two sites, Parkway, the original church building, and Peartree, a refurbished office block, each about a 10 minute walk from the town centre. We welcome an average Sunday morning congregation of 280 children & adults across the two sites with a current membership of 196.
The congregation includes both families and many single people. Each age group is well-represented and there is a diverse ethnic mix.
Christchurch is committed to serving God within the local community. We have a good reputation for ministry with children, young people and senior citizens and we cooperate actively with other local churches. The local council are very positive about the work we do. We have a relational approach to overseas mission support. We are a silver Ecochurch with ambitions for gold.
