We believe this is a brilliant opportunity for the right candidate! Joining the team at Christ Church Stannington will mean joining a church with growing youth and kid’s ministry, a committed team and a desire to go deeper in discipleship and further in mission. Christ Church received a ‘graft’ (a group of 35 adults and children) from St Thomas Crookes in 2023, to boost the mission and ministry in Stannington, and since then God has been at work in whole host of ways.
Our mission and ministry have grown significantly and we are now at the point where we need a Youth and Kids Leader to help us continue this growth in depth and breadth. This position is partnered with the Diocese of Sheffield’s ‘Centenary Project’. The CP team provides support for many other such youth and/or kids workers.
You will lead and grow a team of volunteers, build on the strong links with the local schools and be part of the Centenary Project Network.
