Children's and Youth Ministry Leader

All Saints Ilkley is a large, vibrant & inter-generational evangelical Anglican parish church in the archdeaconry of Bradford and the Diocese of Leeds. We are passionate about helping people find connections with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit and our church family plays an active role within our local community.

An exciting opportunity has arisen as we are looking to recruit someone to the post of Children’s and Youth Ministry Leader who will both oversee our current ministries to the next generation and their families, and provide strategic vision for future opportunities.

The person appointed will be a key member of our Church Leadership Team – a committed team seeking to love and serve the church and community. We are looking for a committed Christian who can provide vision, energy, great organisation and excellent communication skills whilst being an accessible and relatable role model for our children and young people.

You will be an inspirational and passionate leader who will be committed to growing other leaders and enabling our young people to become disciple-making disciples who are equipped to live for Jesus and share Him with others. You could be ordained or lay but must come with at least 3 years previous experience of leading and working with children and young people in a church context.

• Seeking and celebrating God’s transforming presence.
• Being a loving and generous community.
• Growing and sharing our life-giving faith.

We’d love you to come and be part of our future!
