Description of Job

This role will give you the amazing opportunity to explore more of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus and grow as a leader of mission in a local church. For two years, we will build up skills that will equip you for life, work, mission, and leadership, and give you the opportunity to use and develop them in a local church setting.

It's a two-year long adventure giving you the experience of leadership and service, learning alongside a community of other Mission Apprentices.

Your main focus will be working for one of the 17 churches participating in the Mission Apprentice scheme, which will provide opportunities to get involved in many different activities. We want you to be able to take responsibility for growing an area of church life, ministry, or mission over the two years and will work with you, your particular gifts, and sense of calling to identify the best place and way for you to serve.
