Minister & Team Leader

Located in Horsham, West Sussex, Brighton Road Baptist Church is a lively, loving, Christian fellowship with 176 members and a wider congregation of around 250 people. The church enjoys a high profile within the town and our church life includes a regular programme of activities which cater for a broad spectrum of ages, made possible through the work of committed volunteers from the fellowship.

Our modern building provides a suite of flexible halls and meeting spaces that are attractive and welcoming, which enable us to run a wide range of groups and activities. Many of these are church-based activities, but our building is also used extensively by secular groups from our town and the local community.

We are now seeking a Minister & Team Leader who will work in partnership with our Leader of Community Evangelism, our Deacons and our church family to develop and pastorally lead a fresh vision for our future life and work within the community in Horsham.

We are looking for a minister who...

• Is an engaging team leader with a God-centred vision and a passion for leading the church forward in loving, caring for and growing its own community.
• Walks closely with God, is guided by prayer and envisioned by the Holy Spirit.
• Delivers Bible teaching, preaching and worship-leading that is accessible and engaging to a wide range of ages and Christian experience and can draw people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
• Has a passion for our work with young families, youth and children to draw them in and grow our church community.
• Will lead us in developing our visibility and relationships with our local community around our area and across the town (including users of our building).

In addition to a competitive salary, we will provide a manse or housing allowance depending on the appointee's circumstances and preference.
