Associate Vicar

Could God be calling you to Christ Church Barnet?

We are looking for a Spirit-filled, energetic and outward-looking Associate Vicar to join us at an exciting time in the life of our church. Christ Church Barnet is a growing charismatic evangelical Anglican church in North London, with a passion to see the transformation of Barnet and beyond, with the love of Jesus, one life at a time.

Founded in 1845, CCB has a strong evangelical heritage, a commitment to the authority of Scripture and a desire to be led by the Holy Spirit. We embrace women in leadership and hold to traditional theology in faith, ethics and conduct. Today we are seeing new Christians across different generations, increasing diversity and a renewed hunger for the presence of Jesus and the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

We are looking for someone who will share the load of leading, preaching and pastoring, working closely with our Vicar, staff team and wider church leadership. There is also genuine opportunity to shape the role around your gifts and experience as we develop our ministry for the next season.

The role

Alongside the Vicar, you will share responsibility for preaching, worship, pastoral care, congregational visiting, volunteer development and church leadership. You will contribute to our Steering Group, staff team, PCC and Buildings & Business Team, and provide continuity when the Vicar is away.

You will also take delegated leadership responsibility for particular areas of ministry, agreed according to your gifts and experience. These could include evangelism and mission, Alpha and community outreach, discipleship and pastoral care, Connect Groups, Kids & Families and Youth, training and equipping, mission partnerships and safeguarding.

What we offer

You will join a committed and welcoming staff team and church community, with opportunities for personal and professional development. The church will provide excellent housing, pay the appropriate Diocese of London stipendiary clergy scale and meet reasonable ministry expenses.
