This is an exciting time in the life of The Ascension & St Thomas' (AST) in the benefice of Derringham Bank, Hull. Our church is excited about what God is doing amongst us and what our future holds. A new vicar was licensed in January 2024 with the purpose of working with the existing church family and a team moving from St Michael Le Belfrey, York (a charismatic, evangelical church) to do a Church Plant Revitalisation, and work towards becoming a Resource Church.
We are seeking an Associate Vicar who will work alongside the Vicar and team, to prayerfully learn together how to engage with mission and make disciples in the unique and vibrant city of Hull. Alongside usual clergy duties in collaboration with the Vicar, the Associate Vicar will have a particular focus on mission and discipleship among children, young people and families. They will line manage the Youth and Community Pioneer and oversee them as they set up a Youth and Community Centre. They will also oversee engagement with, and provision for children and families at the Sunday services. In approximately 3 years after the start of this post, the Associate will take a team from AST to revitalise another church in Hull.
God is moving in Hull, a place which has so often been forgotten. Could God be calling you to be part of its next chapter? We are praying for you as you discern God's call.
