Fulltime Youth Worker Vacancy just outside Reading
Mortimer and Burghfield Methodist Churches are looking for a committed Christian who is ready and eager to communicate the good news of God’s grace with young people both in, and beyond the church.
Our two growing congregations have around 25+ children and young people in in Sunday worship each week and we now need help sharing the good news in ways that impact the local community and help our children and young people grow as disciples of Jesus.
There’s loads going on in our villages. Our secondary school aged children attend a fortnightly Sunday evening youth club, along with another dozen young people from a neighbouring church. An additional mid-week group is being set up for Year 6-9 children, and a Bible study for the older young people (16-21 ) is running this summer – shared with a third local free church.
The young people of both churches attend the same secondary school which is open to support for its Christian Union and other pastoral needs. Primary Schools in the area are always eager for speakers in their assemblies. Positive relationships with other churches bring exciting opportunities for further future collaboration, outreach and growth.
Both churches work well with each other, often sharing special occasions or joining in joint Bible Studies or book groups. Summer holiday clubs are often run with other local churches, and youth weekends, firework nights, BBQs, alpha courses and baptisms are part of both churches’ heritage. There are experienced and new volunteers in both congregations.
These two churches are growing, and have a solid number of families associated with them. Both have also enjoyed welcoming new Christians into their fellowships, with many now worshipping weekly despite no previous experience of church.
The Salary for this full-time permanent role is £29,000 - £31,000 (depending on experience). The Deadline for application is June 8th.
