Children's and Families Pastor

Do you long to see children encounter Jesus and families flourish in their faith?

At Christ Church Clifton, we believe God is doing something exciting in this generation - and we’re looking for someone to help lead and grow our ministry with children and families into its next season.

We are a vibrant and welcoming Anglican church in Bristol, part of the New Wine family of churches, and with a deep commitment to helping people find and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Our children’s ministry is already thriving, with around 100 children connected to church life and a fantastic team of volunteers - and we believe there is so much more to come.

This is more than a job - it’s an opportunity to shape a growing ministry.

• Lead and develop our ministry for children aged 0-11
• Build, inspire, and grow a team of committed volunteers
• Create engaging, faith-filled Sunday environments where children can encounter God
• Equip and support parents in discipling their children
• Explore new opportunities to connect with families in our wider community

You’ll be joining a supportive and prayerful staff team, working in a culture that values worship, relationship, and spiritual growth. You’ll have space to lead, innovate, and develop both personally and professionally.

• Salary: £28,153-£33,515 (depending on experience)
• Generous pension contribution
• 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible working patterns (including Sundays)
• A collaborative, encouraging team environment

We are open to both full-time and part-time applications and would love to shape the role around the right person.

We’d love to have an informal conversation with you. To arrange this, contact Mark Parsons at  or call  x230.
