Reaching those with little or no connection to church

THE VISION

Pioneering Opportunity:

Holy Trinity Glencraig is seeking a gifted evangelist or pioneer minister with a passion for helping people discover and follow Jesus.

From the team at Glencraig:

We long to see our church become a Seedbed for God’s Kingdom, creating new opportunities for people living in Cultra, Craigavad and Seahill to encounter Jesus, grow as disciples and become part of vibrant Christian community.

This exciting full-time role will focus on engaging people with little or no church connection through initiatives such as Alpha, schools’ engagement, community outreach, fresh expressions of church and the development of new discipleship pathways. Working alongside Rev Catherine Simpson (Rector) and Rev Kyle Flanigan (NSM) and supported by the Diocese, you will help shape new opportunities for mission that connect with people of all ages, particularly young adults, families and those currently beyond the reach of the church.

If you long to see people encounter Jesus, new disciples made, and fresh Christian communities established, we would love to hear from you.
