We urge everyone in our Church Family to 'engage and evangelise' everyone not yet following Jesus and we seek to 'establish and equip' everyone already following Jesus. First and foremost, we are looking for someone to be a member of our Church Family – someone eager to grow as a disciple of Jesus and eager to see people rescued and transformed by Jesus. You will use your gifts to serve Jesus and His people – just as we encourage all followers of Jesus to do. We also expect you to spend time each day in personal Bible reading and prayer. We are looking for a godly man: - spiritually mature, with previous ministry experience and some suitable theological training (e.g. Cornhill, apprenticeship, degree) - who shares our (complementarian) conservative evangelical convictions - able to teach the Bible in a variety of contexts to a range of ages e.g. sermons, Bible Studies, 1-2-1s, evangelistic talks and to train and equip men, children and young people for ministry - who we can love, support and delight in seeing grow
