Youth Minister

Our youth work is an important part of our ministry and this is a key appointment.

We long to help young people discover Jesus and share Him with others, grow in their relationship with Him, and develop meaningful relationships with each other. Building on the foundations of solid children’s and youthwork here in the church, we are looking for the right person who loves Jesus and loves young people! Please be assured of our prayers as you seek whether God is calling you to join us.
