Associate Pastor

This is a significant season for St Peter’s and St Paul’s Church, as we regroup, reimagine and reset in what God is inviting us to be, in this corner of North West Kent.

We are endlessly encouraged in our daily and weekly patterns as a church. We have a commitment to loving God, growing family and increasing hope, whilst equipping the next generation of Jesus followers. We are looking for a passionate and pioneering leader, ready to take on a challenge with significant responsibility in leading the whole church towards this vision. We love God’s word and are committed to the Hoy Spirit’s work in the world! Your proven experience and desire to put down roots with us will make for a great partnership in this place.

We’re seeking a leader with a bias, passion and experience with children, families and youth ministry, alongside our new and growing community presence, for the good and flourishing of all. This is ideally a full-time appointment but part-time or job-share applications are welcome also. We are very much praying and hungry for this new long-term appointment.

This role has an approximate 80/20 bias, primarily leading our church in sharing the life-changing love of God with children and young people in and around Hextable and Swanley Village, inspiring and equipping them to be life-long followers of Jesus. Wider, to work in the mission and ministry in the parish generally, reflecting your distinct gifts and ministry. Here are some of the details we have scoped out. Our aspiration is God’s revival purposes in the lives of children, families and young people!

Here are the full details of the role and emphasis.

And here’s the application form in word or in pdf format.

Application deadline: Thursday 28th April, 12noon.

Interview date: Tuesday 3rd May.

Proposed starting date:  ASAP, by mutual agreement
