Associate Minister - Christ Surbiton Hill

Associate Minister - Christ Church, Surbiton Hill

The Church of England

An exciting opportunity to join the Senior Leadership of a Parish made up of two local churches who share a vision to see our community reached and transformed by the love of Christ. The Associate Minister will share responsibility with the Vicar and other senior leaders, for the leadership and direction of the Parish, working across both churches, using their passion and gifts in a wide range of ministry opportunities in this vibrant part of South West London.

We are praying for someone who…

• Recognizes their dependence on the grace and power of God in all things, and is consequently a person of prayer, humility and integrity, and is open to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
• Loves God and loves people, and believes that the good news of Jesus Christ needs to be lived and shared with others.
• Is a gifted preacher and communicator of God’s Word in different settings.
• Is able and keen to work as a member of the Christ Church & Emmanuel staff teams, and able to build good relationships with other leaders in the churches.
• Will affirm the Church of England Evangelical Council Basis of Faith and Additional Declarations.
• Will enjoy and can appreciate the strengths of both ReNew and New Wine networks.
• If not an ordained Anglican minister, has recognised theological training and experience in local church ministry.

Would you be willing to come and invest your faith, energy and gifts, together with a passionate and supportive team, to see the churches grow as the gospel is proclaimed, and as God accomplishes His good purposes in Surbiton & Tolworth?

For general enquiries about the role or application process: contact Paola at  or email office.

We also encourage informal conversations with the Vicar should you wish to find out more about the churches and the role. Please email john.shepherd.
