  • Use of on-site bike racks and shower facilities.
  • Be part of the church leading Bubble Church, a service for families and little ones, running in 47 churches across the UK.

What we expect from you:

  • You will embrace the vision and values of Ascension.
  • You will have pastoral oversight of the children and young people (0-18s) who attend Ascension.
  • You will creatively explore and develop new areas of outreach for children and young people especially through our Parish Coffee Community Hub and links with the local schools and 6th forms.
  • You will line manage and disciple staff members associated with children and youth ministry.
  • You will build, develop and train up a team of passionate, capable and committed volunteers.
  • You will be skilled at leading services up front with children and young people.
  • You will develop and deliver great sessions for children and young people on Sundays and midweek.
  • You will be a key input into Ascension’s ministry to the parents/carers of the children and youth, particularly with regards to family discipleship.
  • You will have an excitement and passion around spreading the love of God to Balham and beyond.

Closing date for applications: 31st July 2024.
