Assistant Preacher – St Matthew’s

Assistant Preacher – St Matthew’s Cambridge

The role is preaching expository sermons once or twice a month and pastoral, evangelistic and relational 1-1 ministry, especially with newcomers. Small group work could be with young adults, ARU students, internationals or preschool families, depending on your experience & gifts.

St Matthew’s Cambridge is a warm church family of about 200 with a good spread of ages and stages. We’re led by a conservative evangelical team under the oversight of a complementarian Bishop. Our vicar, Frank Price, led a “church graft” here from St Andrew the Great and our associate vicar is now leading a similar project to Peterborough. We have a children/women’s worker, a youth worker and an administrator.
