We are looking for one or two new colleagues who are dynamic, gifted, and passionate about God to join our large (350+) and lively multi-national church, to head up our growing (100+) youth and children’s ministry.

You’ll work alongside an experienced staff team and manage an amazing group of volunteers, overseeing our Sunday Y&C’s programme and a wide variety of other Y&C’s groups and events.
