OPPORTUNITIES

St. Mary’s Church is seeking a Spirit-filled, creative leader to shape and grow a vibrant 0–18 ministry in the stunning Lake District. This is an exciting opportunity to build on strong foundations as part of a dynamic and prayerful leadership team.

With a new Team Rector and fresh vision, we planted a new 11am congregational service in 2024 rooted in Spirit-led worship, prayer ministry, and hospitality. We are welcoming new families, running a well attended Alpha course, and seeing children and young people present each week.

You’ll lead children’s and youth discipleship, build and release volunteer leaders, and pioneer missional outreach such as holiday clubs, youth gatherings, and creative community initiatives. You’ll help ensure children and young people are not on the margins of church life, but fully part of it.

We are open to appointing someone with particular strength in either children’s or youth ministry, who can provide strategic oversight and grow the wider team.

If you love Jesus and long to see young lives formed by the Holy Spirit, we’d love to hear from you.

Job Type: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week, including Sunday morning, with some evening work expected.

Salary: £32-34k pa depending on experience, plus 8% employers pension contribution.
