Assistant Pastor worker community outreach Baptist

This is a new role in the church, but one shaped by our vision to be transformed and enabled to shine for God’s glory in Stapleford and further afield. We see it as an opportunity to work as a senior leader alongside the elders and members of the church to shape, develop, and serve in our outward ministry to the town.

We currently envisage the role of this new member of staff will include:

• encouraging us in prayer, planning, and action in outreach and evangelism
• equipping and training and being alongside members in this
• building relationships and helping members build relationships in the local community
• helping us consolidate, develop, and maintain our outward facing work
• working with the elders to help build a thread of consistency between the outward and inward aspects of the church
• helping us identify new areas of mission and service for SBC locally
• participation in delivery of courses such as Christianity Explored
• growing and consolidating our steps to build relationship with parents and families

The role might be filled by an assistant pastor, but could also be filled by a worker (male or female) with suitable training and background, or possibly even a pastor in training. Consideration can be given to helping with necessary theological training.

Terms and conditions of appointment will be agreed with the person appointed, but we envisage a full time appointment for an initial period of 3 years. As it will take time for the appointee to grow and develop in this new role and for the church to respond to it, we anticipate keeping it under review, and hopefully, finances permitting, being able to extend it.

The salary will be commensurate with experience and with pension provision. Tax allowable relocation expenses can be met.
