Job Title: Youth & Families Minister
Salary: £25,000 – 30,000 depending on experience
Employer: Diocese of Southwark
Hours: Full-time 35 hours a week, with Sunday and evening work
Contract: 4 years, fixed term
Base Location: All Saints Church, Merstham
Reporting to: Team Rector, Nigel Griffiths
Background:
This is a truly exciting opportunity to join the leadership team at the start of a new season in the life of God’s mission to Merstham. The Merstham Team (comprising three Churches; St Andrews, St Katharine’s and All Saints) have been identified as one of the places in the Diocese of Southwark where there is a clear opportunity for growth. As a result of a successful bid by the Diocese of Southwark, we have obtained the funding for this post and supporting financial resources from the Church of England’s Strategic Development Fund (SDF). The hub for this will be All Saints Church in South Merstham from which outreach will be planned and implemented. The agreed Planting Strategy has two components:
•A graft of 15 people from St Mary’s Church, Reigate into Merstham benefice, led by a new team including the Rector, an Administration and Operations Manager and a Pioneer Curate with whom the Youth and Families Minister will work closely.
•To pioneer mission and evangelism into the largely unchurched areas of Merstham benefice including the Estate, with a target to develop one entirely new, self-supporting congregation in the Estate by mid-2028.
If you feel called to be part of this journey and have the necessary enthusiasm, skills and experience then we would love to hear from you. Please email your CV to Nigel at [email protected] with a covering letter including 2 referees you have alerted in advance, outlining your experience, qualities and competencies and why you would be successful in this role. If you would like an informal discussion about the role, then please feel free to contact Nigel.
